Good. Maybe thousands of foreigner taxi drivers will go back home. Uber is far superior to the service they offer.

Excellent....and another "Good" about all this is that it will stop Islamonazis from making big bucks trading in Taxi Medallions.

(Un)fortunately, I don’t own a smart phone: I never really cared much for them...

Now, if only Uber had an automated-voice despatch system....

Some of us WORKING and cubicle-bound don’t have access to many websites.

Any one care to give an actual HELPFUL reply?

-— doesn’t it cost something like $5,000 to get a ‘medallion’ (which is basically a permit to let you conduct business as a cab driver) PER CAR?

I wonder if that is per year too?


Taxi medallions were going for $700k in Boston, as of 4/14. But the values are plummeting.

No. Just commenting on your work ethics.

Interesting piece on Uber and in line with my experience back in the 80s of working as a courier using my own car. The money’s okay, but the wear and tear on the car made it a bad deal overall.

Which is it? Originally you said you didn’t have much time to read the news on here?
