What constituencies are those?
- nfoz 11y agoThe general public.
- kuschku 11y agoThe actual independent taxi drivers, for example? Unless they start some union of taxi drivers, they have no voice.
- harryh 11y agoThey have a union: http://www.nytwa.org http://www.nytwa.org
- emodendroket 11y agoTaxis and taxi-like services have costs, like increased congestion and pollution, which are borne by everyone in the area they're operating, but which are not really in the interest of any of the major players in the lobbying picture.
- harryh 11y agoThere are a huge number of lobbying groups that do work on behalf of the environment.
- emodendroket 11y agoThey have nowhere near the resources of commercial groups and they don't get nearly as much access. Anyway, "there are environmental groups" seems like a facile response because pollution is only one of the costs of adding more cars driving around in circles all day to the streets.
