I don't like being robbed at Tampa International Airport The real reason Joseph W. Lopano let Uber and Lyft into TPA was he projected an increase in fees collected to be 5.2 million in the next two years. He seemed to view this as a revenue generating opportunity when the taxi companies were only able to come up with about 1.2 million a year. This was more than a reason to violate existing law. Joe Lopano (head of TPA) had a long range plan to soak the public and make a GIANT BONUS for himself. I wonder why he was fired in New York and flamed out in Dallas? Just wondering. The Tampa Bay Business Journal confirmed this fact the other day on their website. I knew he was corrupt and this proves it. Lopano stated that reason he let Uber and Lyft into the airport (violating the contract he had with the taxi companies) is he wanted to provide transportation alternatives to the traveling public. That was pure Bullshit. He simply saw how they could increase revenue long term by bilk...
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..........:))
