After the Civil War , in 1654 Oliver Cromwell set up the Fellowship of Master Hackney Carriages by Act of Parliament, and taxi driving became a profession. This makes the licensed taxi trade the oldest regulated public transport system in the world.

Legality turns on the substance , not its characterization. a hail does not become lawful merely because it is described as ‘prearranged.’”

Certain things are tested over and over in the the courts , one defeat is not the final blow , WE WILL test the medallion exclusive again

Medallion owners can't be greedy with drivers. We need drivers to be loyal to us.

The newstand no longer has news

One thing I'm pretty sure , the outgoing mayor hated cabs

Dear Commissioner , you need to give us a chance, admit that the taxi collapse was caused in large part by the regulating mistakes of the TLC.

First , financially owning a medallion needed to be sustainable for the medallion driver, both owner and driver only This means a driver needs to earn enough to house and feed his family of four decently in proximity of NYC

You passed lease caps , that was commendable , you protected the driver, when the medallion was created there were no rules limiting how much an medallion operator could charge owners

I disagree about the new one I always believed that medallions had middle ground it was not republican or democrat, Medallions are an asset and an asset needs unity and momentum ,

speak up to out city and state reps explain to them that an ehail is a streethail bc a hail can never be prearranged as it is not its definition ,

We can be lobbyists!!!!! how else we gonna fight for our rights they lobby , they buy everything , but we have numbers together 5 calls from Brooklyn 5 calls from Queens 5 calls from the Bronx 5 calls from Staten Island all those calls going to government representatives

You know if curb fights CMT for turf , you know who loses , medallion owners , while there fighting for all the cake , it leaves us ultimately less qualified to fight the real enemy, the apps , infighting really helps the apps we need a united front against them

THOSE WHO BELIEVE THAT BY GETTING RID OF THE APPS IT BENEFITS OWNER DRIVERS, MEDALLION DRIVERS , MEDALLION OWNERS AND ULTIMATELY APP DRIVERS , BUY A MEDALLION OR MAKE MONEY FROM DRIVING A MEDALLION CAB

The taxi industry should be dominated by medallion owner drivers , those who own and drive. Their the ones out front and making the industry stronger

👍👍👍👍👍we are busier than app cars New Years Day !!!!

There's got to be a new commisioner coming in, I can't see Mamdani keeping Do when Do did very little to specialize us

I believe there's been a NEW YEARS BUMP

owning a cab was a prestigious occupation years ago , it can be again , and a nice occupation for immigrants to work hard and raise a family
