There are about 7,500 taxis licensed in Chicago. A majority of them spend their times crusing between the south side of downtown and the north lakefront.
I would say they're about as aggressive as any I've seen in NYC and Boston, while places like San Fran and the pacific northwest had much more relaxed cabbies.
Here's they're like possessed demons, flying through stoplights and residential neighborhoods at 60mph while screaming in a variety of languages on their phones.
Sometimes I'm still amazed after 10 years here at the crazy sh** they pull in traffic.
New York City has very aggressive cabbies...the ones around Boston can get pretty aggressive too, especially if you kick their cab like I did last Wednesday after a Red Sox game. That dude was not happy at all.
