The heart of the problem lies just across the township border, the drivers said. While Ewing taxi drivers are allowed to drop passengers off in Trenton, they are not allowed to pick any up from there. The same rules apply to Trenton cabbies, who must also stick to picking up customers from their own municipality, the drivers said.
But the recent booming business of the Trenton-Mercer airport has made the parking lot there a battleground, the drivers said.
