Somebody just put their finger in the air and decided we need more cabs. Why 120?

They don't give a sh!t if a customer can't get a cab. <br />As Hara will no doubt say there is a vast untapped market that just wants a cab but knows calling isa waste of time if it is a little busy. They don't care what kind it is.

Of course they would have said to put more cabs out without the report anyway cuz that is more money they can spend on benefits for them selves.<br />I'm with Ed as usual in that until all these unregulated honyocks are dealt with they should not put out any except for the dead guys medallions.<br />There are not enough drivers now and it is going to get worse. Count on MTA to do something stupid.<br />I sure would not buy a medallion for any more than about $100 k at this point. I predict defaults on the medallions coming fairly soon.

The Hara report's recommendations are not known. The 120 cabs for 2013 and the 200 for 2014 are proposed by SFMTA taxi staff based on a projection of 800 that the Hara Report is supposedly estimating as the ultimate increase for the number of taxi permits in SF. Nothing more is known. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
