It would be the equivalent of leaving the Bloods for the Crips gang. They’d be on the taxi mafia hit list and we all know how easy it is to get away with murder in the lower mainland. Realistically, they probably don’t want to switch jobs, get reduced wages, decreased value to taxi plates and be subject to a rating system. Bottom line is the industry has been comfortable for so long; have been aware that Uber will potentially move in on their territory and made no changes to their offerings to compete.

Many taxi drivers work off hours as UBER /Lift drivers.... earn extra money..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not all taxi drivers are against UBER/LYFT? It seems rather hypocritical to rail against ride sharing and then join them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are pragmatic if not a bit hypocritical..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
