La serie si concentra sulla vita quotidiana di un gruppo di tassisti di New York e su Louie De Palma, il direttore della Sunshine Cab Company, la compagnia di taxi. Fra i tassisti, solo Alex Rieger, deluso dalla vita, considera quella di tassista la sua professione. Gli altri lo vedono come un lavoro temporaneo che possono lasciarsi alle spalle non appena avranno successo nella carriera che ognuno di loro ha come obiettivo. Elaine Nardo è una receptionist presso una galleria d'arte. Tony Banta è un pugile con un record da perdente. Bobby Wheeler è un attore in difficoltà. Tutti cercano di aiutare "Reverend Jim" Ignatowski, un ex hippy bruciato dalla droga, a diventare un tassista.

Like Father, Like Son
Alex's estranged father contacts Alex and reluctantly, Alex agrees to have lunch with him. At first, Alex lays into his father about having deserted his family, but eventually they start having a nice conversation. Alex's father, a real ladies' man, even sets him up with an attractive woman sitting at the table next to them at Mario's. When Alex leaves Mario's, Alex's father makes a date with the woman as well. Evidently, both men continue dating the woman, but when Alex learns that his father has double crossed him, he becomes furious and confronts his father. Ultimately, Alex's father lays on the charm enough with Alex that Alex forgives him and they are seen having dinner together.
