Crimes against cabbies are a way of life in their dangerous trade. But drivers see a surge in how violent those crimes have become, and fear they will increase with the coming holiday season.

Philadelphia police don't keep statistics on crimes against cab drivers. But federal figures show that a taxi driver is 60 times more likely to be murdered on the job than any other worker.
