I’m more impressed with taxis based on your info.
“I’m more impressed with taxis based on your info.”
Well I’m gratified :)
There were some problems with taxis and Uber has forced some improvements, IMO.
The grand ripoff of mostly older retired cabbies who saved and worked for life for a medallion was criminal in my opinion.
Other than that, don’t have two sets of rules for two similar businesses, you know? Food carts should have the same general requirements as restaurants. Hotels should have the same general requirements of B&Bs.
After that, let competition happen. But you can’t give giant preferential treatment to one company and then say well too bad for the other company.
And while as a faithful FReeper I am not fan of idiotic book long pages of regulations, some regulations are good and right. A stranger, often drunk or ill or frail or vulnerable, is getting into another stranger’s car. Some safeguards need to happen.
