Call me a cab

Tom LeCompte recently became a Boston cab driver. He's blogging the experience:
... Then, from the back, I heard bodies shifting in the seat, the sounds of murmuring and kissing, of clothes being pulled at and unbuttoned. I glanced up at my rearview mirror, but saw nothing. They were clearly taking advantage of the rear seat couch.
"Say it," she whispered.
"Huh?"
"Say it," she repeated, followed by the sounds of more kissing and some slurping noises.
"Never," she said. "Never ever leave me."
The goings-on in the back were becoming a serious distraction. I really needed to fixate on the road. But soon, I was faced with another problem: I didn't know where I was going. I was hoping these two would finish up so I could ask for directions, but after another couple blocks I couldn't wait.
"Excuse me," I interrupted at the next stoplight. "Can you help me out with some directions?" ...

and that was just the punch line
Here's the lede:
"I've had couples break up, fall in love, and even make love in the back of my cab.
"Once, I had all three happen during the same cab ride."
Quite a teaser!
The above snippet becomes even more interesting in the full context of the story.
Thanks for linking!
Figures...
Never had a Boston Cab driver who didn't need door/door directions...get some knowledge (or, at the least, a GPS)
partitions
Is the actual reason for the partition to keep the driver from jumping over the seat to join in?
Or is it just to make sure that any robberies attempted... aren't attempted with a knife, but instead... with a gun?
If that is the real reason... it WORKS! Less frequent knife attacks, more frequent gun attacks. Less attacks... more dead drivers.
