What happens if you don't want to be on cash cab, but still enter the cab?

I’m pretty sure that if someone says they don’t want to play, they don’t drive them wherever in the Cash Cab… but I would also expect that they probably have some regular cabs available to give those people a ride somewhere, so they don’t generate people annoyed at them.

(Either that or they get agreement around the corner, and then have people pretend to be surprised.)

What is a cash cab? Is it a cab that is not an Uber or Lyft ride?

Aha. Thanks.

You get a ride to your destination sans camera. Standard cab rates apply.

The ride ends and they ask you to sign a release. If you don’t, it doesn’t air. Lots of rides are filmed which never get seen.
