it's worst in chicago, too low earning and sometimes we work 12 hrs a day for 7 days just for paying weekly lease and nothing left.

solution? it is reduce the numbers of cabs, no more chauffer class or new medalions.

increase the meter rate instead of this junk homeless-like 50 cent gas surcharge.

if u don't do these 2, we are gonna be worst for ever!

I also think the surcharge sucks. Tell me it doesn't usually come off of the gratuity and I'll call you a liar. George Lutfallah has voiced that the surcharge is great in his opinion. However, this comes from a man that was against a meter increase when it could have gotten passed and now is spearheading one in hard times.

Too bad George doesn't work well with others. I have heard tell of what happened at recent meeting in his office. I would think others would share this opinion.

Now for the comedy: CCO meetings at the flop house in Chinatown or CCU meetings below the Belmont mob house? Pick your poison.

Boston gets 5.00 for the first mile with flag pull and 2.80 a mile. We get 4.05 and 1.80. Who works for free?
