On Tuesday, June 21, 2011, taxi drivers held a two hour strike. Drivers are mainly protesting excessive 5% credit card fees, rear seat payment terminals, and electronic waybill tracking. All photos by John Han.
Here is what the media has put out so far...
COMING SOON - Thoughts and analysis of the strike / protest. For now, here's some photos.
Nice shots John. I especially like the one of the handsome dud in the last photo.

Hi Ed, I think you mean DUDE not 'dud', right? Thanks for the kind word.
ReplyDeleteNo, if the person in the picture, is in fact Healy, then DUD is the appropriate
ReplyDeleteWord, Because it sounds like thud, like Healys credibility, as it falls, from the
Sky, like Icarus, who flew to close to the sun.
I second the comments made by anonymous about
ReplyDeleteEd. It is strange to see such a person who
is shamelessly working against permittees
and cab drivers and Murai who got no sense
what she is talking about Tariq. Murai
show me one little thing which your friend
Christiane has done for the cab industry
drivers. 5 % going to driver fund was to
get drivers approval for sale of medallions
otherwise it would have been impossible to
sell the idea. Murai you talked rubbish
when airport was interested to finish taxi
shorts and you supported the airport not
drivers. If Tariq do not come forward and
take a firm stand, we all would have been
much worst than current problem of 5 % credit
card fee. Murai in fact it is you who is
attacking Tariq to please Hayashi. You are
definately scared from his leadership power.
Shake your head, get new thoughts and stand
behind him who is turning the impossible
to get a new position for the taxi industry
with or without SFMTA.
