I believe that sfmta can do a lot to protect and promote the taxi industry. First they need to propose harsher penalties for soliciting. 1st violation - $250, 2nd violation - $500, 3rd - impound the car. They can easily give 10 citations per day, about 300 per month. Extra revenue for sfmta and it can strike fear on these illegal cabs. Ed Lee already got what he wants. I don't think he'll be against this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708859863717325805.post-26268389400632134042013-10-18T12:40:39.646-07:002013-10-18T12:40:39.646-07:001.

The whole point of the legislation is to make sure that the customer is there and to get drivers to pick up the orders. It's woks very well for flywheel. My no-go rate with them is less than 3% and I got paid $5 every time.<br /><br />2. There are severe penalties for illegal cabs picking up. Ask your mayor why the rules aren't enforced.<br /><br />3. I like the idea of cab companies paying for ads on buses. It's a good question. Why aren't they doing it?<br /><br />4 Not surcharging customers would be a good advertising point for us and should be emphasized.<br /><br />The PhantomCrocker Amazonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14344354862430937003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708859863717325805.post-73267689009013861062013-10-18T10:33:42.717-07:002013-10-18T10:33:42.717-07:00Who gets the cancellation fee, the driver or the t...Who gets the cancellation fee, the driver or the taxi company?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708859863717325805.post-57414516232975561602013-10-18T10:31:40.268-07:002013-10-18T10:31:40.268-07:00Didn't the MTA just do a charity drive for the...Didn't the MTA just do a charity drive for the taxi companies and give them a few hundred medallions<br />and now the taxi companies want a gate increase?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708859863717325805.post-34796406474783083802013-10-18T06:07:18.819-07:002013-10-18T06:07:18.819-07:00Instead of trying to dig deeper into cab driver po...Instead of trying to dig deeper into cab driver pocket, why are they not putting their efforts to protect the taxi industry. Why are they not coming up with severe penalty on those illegal cabs solicitating on the street snd sfo? Limo and tnc are charging surcharge during peak time. Why can't taxi driver do the same? Why the cab companies not coming together to run ads on muni to inform the public the risks of taking the tnc because of not having adequate coverage? The public needs to be better informed. They're waiting too long for these companies to dismantle the taxi industry.

What really needs to happen is the gates need to be reduced on certain shifts.<br /><br />I think the big boys are aware of this.<br /><br /><br />What we need is a good efficient app that even has marketing consultant component promoting the app.Branding is a big part of Uber and Lyft. We need that as soon as possible.<br /><br />The other thing is we need good oversight by the drivers and big cab companies of the SFMTA to make sure there is no regulatory capture by big pocketed lobbyists who work for competitors of the legal cab business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
