I just found out cab rides are free in St. Louis tonight

wow, pretty sweet
got my fingers crossed that nyc will pick up this awesome concept

how did the city do this? are they paying all cabbies some lump-sum to stay out for free? curious as to the logistics

Im not sure on specifics, I know that not every cab co is doing this, but a few are (for sure, laclede cab). I think the city is reimbursing them somewhat, but Im not positive.
I just got this info from a friend, was very pleased.
