Yellow cab do not sit idle on the streets of new york. Yellow cab cruise for fares. Unlike FHV where they sit on every corner like cockroaches. Parked in no standing, hydrants, turning lanes. Basically everywhere. All the city has to do is enfore there own laws - like anti idling laws

Uber’s and Lyft drivers are not roaches. We drive two or three block then we get a ride. Yellow piss color cabs drives 10 blocks minimum before they can get a rider. They also don’t follow the rules of the road. They cut off other cars. Stop in the middle of the street and speed like if there in the Indy 500. Yellow cabs are the danger of nyc streets. If rideshare cabs are parked. That’s because we are eating or taking a smoke break. And we park in those places Because the damn yellow cabs take out parking spots and leave there cars there for beyond the one hour time frame. So to hell with you and the yellow cabs. If they wasent so greedy for the money or refused blacks and Latinos. They wouldn’t be dying right now for business.

Hmmm typical gov B$ solution to squeeze more money from the slaves of this industry !

How about dispatching based on proximity only , and forbid empty traveling , personal usage , delivery based driving activity on top the allowed 11 hours.

Uber and others alike only exist in popularity due to massive tax evasion, lobbying, and predatory pricing tactics.

On a level playing field Uber would be dead in the water.

Uber have been fined around the globe in all aspect’s of there business model.

Uber in London in particular are feeling the heat from government and regulations.

The one thing worse than regulations are no regulations.
