Too Many Cabs! Huge problem!!!!!!!

The bussiness has been very slow. Everytime you are on street, you are between 5 empty cabs infront and behind you.
There always seem to be more cabs in city then private cars.

You can barely make $50 working 12 hours a day these days. Cabbies are doing road rage just to find the first available passengers.

Despite all these, The city is doing nothing to stop more cabs on street, they are not stopping issuance of new medallions. The chauffer class at HW college is still continuing.
The long time professional drivers are stopping to drive cabs due to very slow bussiness.
There are too many unprofessional, roookies customer unfreindly cabbies on street who don't know their way around and why talk on cell phone blue tooth while driving and keep cab dirty.

This also gives long time drivers bad names.

I wonder who will truely do somehting about this CAB FLOODING issue.

Just too many cabs and $50 a day for working 12 to 14 hours a day is a reality in cab bussiness!!!!!!

Re: T oo slow and too less to earn!

It sure looks as if there are more cabs then cars on streets of chicago. I plan to quit this job soon and work at walmart. Having to work from 7am till 10 pm to make $ 45 bucks for myself is terrible.
I can make that amount working less then 8 hours at mcdonald.
It's very slow.
