Electronic waybills have been taken off the table for discussion at any of the town hall meetings that the SFMTA has scheduled for next week, although it had previously been on the agenda. In addition to 5% credit card fees and rear seat "Taxi Tvs", electronic tracking is one of the key items being protested by drivers because of privacy concerns, and concerns over inaccurate logging of income, and long term health risks. Here's the updated version of the SFMTA's announcement regarding town hall meetings.

ReplyDeleteSo the harmonious grifting will continue unabated amongst the masses at the various cab company plantations.
We would. Not want an uprising amongst the serfs now, would we?
Thanks for the information, when I first heard these were going to be set from an April meeting. I emailed Ford and Hyashi to find out the dates and times. No surprise never got a response from either one of them.
