Director Chris Hayashi, as many of you know, has been accused of hoarding medallions in her desk drawer. I guess this is her answer to those critics.
Before I started my shift Saturday night, Charles Rathbone alerted me to this little chart tucked away on the SFMTA Taxi website. I don't know much about it. But it appears that Director Hayashi will be giving out medallions after all ... "for free."

This comes as a surprise to me since the director recently said that she wouldn't start giving out regular medallions until after July 1st.
If nothing else, it's a good political move and should silence those of her detractors (for a few minutes anyway) who claimed that the SFMTA would never give out a "free" medallion again.
Hi Crocker
ReplyDeleteIts hardly "Free" when you have to work up to 20 years to get the darn thing, Would'nt you agree?
Hi Crocker,
ReplyDeleteJust wondering. Is the Director Hayashi giving away 18 regular medallions or less. I see names on list are in number order. But she know that not all will have what it takes. It is confusing.
thanks your site. It help to look at.
Hi Dick,
ReplyDeleteI agree that's why I put quotes around "for free."
Hi Marcos,
Hayashi isn't giving them away she is giving them to people who have earned them by being on the list. She will be handing out 18 medallions. If people listed don't qualify, the medallion will be offered to a driver who does qualify.
Dear Albert,
You're right. I'm not publishing your comment.
If you want to write slanderous trash get your own blog.

Hi Crocker,
ReplyDeleteOk. Thanks. Director give out 18 medallion right? I understand. For driver who working last five year on list. So Director have to move more names soon to get out 18 medallion.
Thank you again.

Hi Crocker,
ReplyDeleteLike to ask. Maybe, why no more hearings now about give and sell taxi medallions? Not moving for some weeks. Maybe you know. Thank you.
Marcos
Dear Marcos,
ReplyDeleteI don't know about the hearings. I've been out of Town.
