It sounds to me like the Philly cab drivers would be better of as Uber drivers. You said they go into debt to pay for the medallions. Where does that money go?

It sounds to me like the Philly cab drivers would be better of as Uber drivers. You said they go into debt to pay for the medallions. Where does that money go? Do these fees collected by the city provide a service for the community or does it disappear into a corrupt government?
If you want to help the drivers don't support a system that forces them into debt. Support an alternative.
- habosa 12y agoI totally agree, however in the meantime they invested in the medallion and Uber is trying to make it worth nothing. It would be nice if we could find a way to somehow compensate the drivers for that investment instead of saying "you're dumb and should not have bought into that system, now your medallion is worthless".
