Abstract
Through interviews with Toronto city taxi drivers and frequent business travelers this paper explores how the taxi might be understood as a medium - one that cannot be disarticulated from a particular temporal politics. To understand the taxi as a medium is also to insist that labor, social difference, and the cultural politics of space and time are not external effects or byproducts of media, but rather quite central to how media mediates.
