With Uber drivers making more than double what cabbies make, it seems that Uber is actually freeing the cabbies from the "slavery" of medallions.
- zenbowman 12y agoA very good point. I was speaking to a cabbie in Vancouver, where a cab medallion is right about half a million dollars (Canadian). Cab drivers effectively have the choice of being indentured labor to the cab companies who buy medallions, or accepting massive debt and becoming indentured laborers for the bank. Uber seems like a much better option.
