Albert is a cab driver that follows the rules and pays his insurance, license, and operation fees Guest post by Albert Zee: Uber problem in Tampa Bay.....Taxi industry has been under siege since 2007-2008 due to economical collapse of 2008, then surge in new taxi cab start ups between 2010-204 which were still mostly operating according to all the rules and regulations prolonged recovery. Then uber came around with "great solution" to our transportation problems and said, what regulations, what commercial insurance, what background checks and what cars (we don't need to own any and our drivers don't need to be regulated because we are "rideshare" company), we will invade and steal the market by offering rides at half a price, we will put all those law obeying "taxi cartels" out of business by creating bogus press releases about advantages of uber, by lying to public, drivers and politicians, they don't know any better any ways.

Express Taxi is a division of Super Shuttle in Pinellas County
ReplyDeleteNow, Super Shuttle also owns Yellow Cab of Pinellas
as there is no regulation how many cabs can be cruising Pinellas and with minimum wage at its lowest in decades, everybody thinks, that starting own cab company is the way out of poor house, including me..
Adding to all the mayhem and despair, we have Uber and Lyft drivers operating at "$35-40 / hr or 100K a year" !!!! at half a price ????!!! .......and uber getting new suckers every day from craigslist
I think, someone should start to post some videos on craigslist to educate people about UberBS,
also some regulators should knock craigslist door and tell them, that they are supporting major mail fraud being conducted by uber
I heard, cab drivers in Tampa are being asked to join the union....?
ReplyDeleteIs that truth ?
