Earlier today, NYC Taxi News’ Abe Mittleman, Carolyn Protz, and AutoMarketplace founder Dawood Mian had a conversation with NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC) Chair & Commissioner David Do.
We spoke with NYC TLC Chair David Do about his recent experience as a NYC for-hire driver, including driving a yellow cab 🚕, working in an EV ⚡ on Revel’s platform and his future plans to continue driving across different NYC for-hire transport sectors! 👏
Later on in the conversation, he shares some thoughts on how he thinks about and balances the opinions & demands of different groups when constructing and determining policy. We appreciate the complex task of being the NYC TLC Chair, especially when it comes to discussions around issuing new TLC Plates, a very actively debated 🗣️ topic in the industry, with many points of views. Chair Do also briefly touches on his thoughts around congestion pricing.
After the roughly 30 minute conversation, Abe, Carolyn and Dawood speak about their thoughts on the discussion and more. We also briefly talk about an upcoming taxi medallion auction this Thursday, the current state of medallion financing market and what might make investors interested in the taxi medallion industry again.
We hope you enjoy the conversation and thank 🙏 TLC Chair Do for sharing his valuable time and insights!
Hope you enjoy the conversation!
