Let me say that I have absolutely loved being at Green. The last three-and-a-half years have been like a cab industry re-birth for me.<br /><br />I must nit-pick about your description of the ownership of Green -- if Mark Gruberg "owns" Green Cab, I'm not sure the rest of us know that yet. We all believe that it's an LLC, and that there are 30-plus of us who've chosen to be members. And UTW? A bunch of us are (or have been) UTW members, but honestly, I think that if you polled all Green Cab drivers, three-quarters of us would say, "UTW... Wait, wait, don't tell me... I know this one... OK, What is it? Can you tell me?" I haven't heard one pro-UTW discussion since I've been there. Inside Green, it's a non-issue.<br /><br />But everyone at Green does know that if you drive 800 hours a year, you can become a member of Green Cab, LLC ($100/year -- I think that's our dues), and once you're a member, your vote has the same weight as the vote of anyone else in the company. And that, I believe, is absolutely unique in the San Francisco cab industry. Also, should Green ever turn a profit, each member would get an equal share of the profits -- also unique. I know that you are plenty happy over at Luxor, Ed (many medallion holders are plenty happy with their situations), but hey, any time you feel like it, the door's open at Green, and you've got a personal invitation from me to come on over. I'm having by far the most fun I've had in the industry. We're making it up as we go along, and we could use some good sharp folks like you.<br /><br />Again, thanks for coming last night.<br /><br />Brad Newsham<br />Green Cab #914Brad Newshamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05798003856595278410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708859863717325805.post-15202046364493030302010-12-13T19:53:22.991-08:002010-12-13T19:53:22.991-08:00Cab drivers having fun: what an interesting concep...Cab drivers having fun: what an interesting concept.
