Philadelphia Parking Authority is in trouble too for helping the taxi companies try to prevent UBER drivers from getting easy access to riders. Ahhh, the corruption of big city government. Its always the people that suffer most.
Rick Szilagyi, CEO of Durham-based New England Livery Association, said his organization is not opposed to app-based ride-booking, but does want "a level playing field." He said the app-based rides have an unfair, less-costly advantage by not being subject to the same regulations as other rides-for-hire.
I assume the cab companies must be under more regulation than Uber drivers, otherwise why such a fuss from the cab industry? Why wouldn't they just innovate and adopt a model similar to Uber and Lyft?

The cities are not making revenue off them....
Taxi Drivers feel penalized, as they should.
NYC it cost 1 million dollars a year, to get your rights back, to give someone a ride for profit.
This whole issue is so funny to me. Taxi drivers, who originally pushed for license requirements to suppress competition, are getting upset that people found a way around their crony laws...so they act like the victims. Hilarious.
