"From noon to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, taxi drivers are being urged to park their cabs to protest the practice of charging drivers 5 percent of every credit card transaction, the consideration of an electronic tracking system and an idea to put more taxis on the street."
- potatolicious 15y agoHeh, they're opposing more cabs on the street? Well there's a surefire way to endear your cause to the people of the city...
- grandalf 15y agoThe SF taxi system is highly corrupt. I hope the taxi companies go out of business and their cronies in SF city government get fired.
- mikeryan 15y agoI'm not going to comment on the taxi regulation system in SF because its pretty ugly. But the drivers have to drive for about 15-20 years to win a medallion. SF is changing this process and wants to start selling medallions for about $250,000. If you're at the top of the list (ie you've been waiting 15 years) you get first chance at buying a medallion but you're SOL if you don't have the 12K deposit. If I were someone near the top of the list but hadn't been saving up I'd be pretty pissed too.
