- neonate 5y agoYou mean about medallions? That makes sense. Have I characterized your argument correctly, more or less? If not, I'd like to know what I missed.
- eschulz 5y agoI think you got it. Pay a million dollars for a medallion, and then have the right to sit at Times Square or JFK and charge people $50 to drive them for 20 or so minute. The cabs are independent LLCs, so they're on their own for health insurance, 401k, etc. Mostly driven by immigrants, I think being a cabbie can be a tough job.
