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.
 The top five countries of origin for NYC cabbies:
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.
