They’re the ones with deep pockets fighting to ban Uber and other related services. If Uber was competing against mom and pop taxis they wouldn’t be banned anywhere. Taxi groups are powerful since they pretty much have a monopoly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florence is supposed to be nice. Next place in Italy for me is around Bologna and Parma - supposed to be a real foodie part of Italy.

Hockey5djh Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 NYC made a big deal about them not having one of those Taxi Medallions that are apparently super hard to get and pretty expensive. Its a requirement for Taxis up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did Rome and Naples a few years back as well as the islands of Capri and Ischia. I actually stayed in a small fishermans town. Great trip that i'd love to do again.

Jroc04 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Taxi medallions. Talk about a crock. You have to pay for this million dollar medallion just to be able to drive a taxi in NY. And you basically spend the rest of your career paying it off. You basically finance a million dollars and hope to sell it off when you're ready to retire. I have to pay to work and hope someone wants my job when I'm too old to work and then I can retire. Or I'm completely boned. How is that even legal I have no idea.

Basically. Except you get no knowledge or any specialized skill set after years and years of your craft. Its more likened to buying a million dollar home and being chained to that home for your career. And then praying someone will buy your house for at least the same price.
