NYC cabbies from Bangladesh, Pakistan ... and U.S.

The Sun today takes a look at where New York City's 43,402 taxicab drivers are from, and finds that about 2,300 are American.

1. Bangladesh
2. Pakistan
3. India
4. Haiti
5. United States

Although there are currently only 13,000 yellow cabs in NYC, one driver told the Sun that many ex-cabbies keep their taxi licenses active as a back-up plan in case their current jobs don't work out.
