> Every driver I've met who has made the switch from taxi to Uber/Lyft says they're happier now and earning more. This was true initially, but is no longer true. Many drivers are switching back, or switching to Gett. > The only folks you should feel sad about are the drivers who decided to take a loan to buy their own medallion. Those are the folks who need a hand because of the catastrophic collapse of their investment. But hey, that's what bankruptcy is for. Do you feel like failed restauranteurs deserve a bailout? Medallions are form of corruption mandated by the city. That's a little different from a failed restaurant.
