I've seen this guy at Tampa airport before. He is the Party Cab Guy. The inside even has a disco light and he plays club music as he takes people out to party. Paul Hinton, manager at United Cab, said he remembers the guy from St. Petersburg. The Party Cab dude is personable and the chicks dig him. Paul thinks he is from Turkey and has a beautiful wife. I noticed he was wearing eye liner. Just another eclectic guy that drives taxi for a living. I saw him again today and he gave me his card. Thus dude is high energy and he puts a lot into it. It shows real ambition. Strange. Taxi driving is not an ambitious man's pursuit. However, I think he is independent which means he pays no high lease to the taxi overlords. He is expending that energy in something that will really pay off. Good for him.
I am a 24 year former cab driver from Tampa Florida. Retired and looking forward to the future.
So why doesn't the taxi cops of HCTPC just arrest a few of them and charge with illegal taxi and let a judge decide all the way to supreme court? If I drove over to Tampa in my Ford Pinto wagon and put a taxi light on my car and picked up people, I'd be stopped immediately. Maybe uber and lynx are protected by somebody and HCTPC knows to leave them alone? Doesn't make sense. Doesn't Untied cab have any interest in stopping this ursupration of there business ?
ReplyDeleteThat is what I have been thinking. Uber has 1.5 billion behind them. I would be naive to think someone has not been paid off. Why else would VICTOR CRIST be dragging this thing out.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Crist takes money from Uber, but people like Rubio, Scott and other bigwigs in Tallahassee do and they put pressure on local agencies and governments to let uber do whatever they want.
ReplyDeleteWe know for a fact Rubio is a big Uber and no regulation guy. His idea of capitalism would lead to immovable monopolies. It would create rampant poverty.
ReplyDelete".......It would create rampant poverty"
Delete.....then everybody would wonder again, why some people go bananas and start to do crazy things
eg
taxi driver starts to shoot Uber drivers or Uber driver with 4 passengers goes off the Skyway bridge..........:))

......you can consider this as an uber joke, but is it?
