Many of our customers have come back after being burned by them with their surge pricing. Consumers have the right to know that if they are in an accident, their injuries will not be covered in those cars. When you sign up for insurance in Florida, everyone signs an affidavit stating they are not going to use their personal vehicle for commercial purposes.. me myself I take a picture of their license plate in your back window with no stickers and I'm informing their insurance companies that they are breaking the law.. you want to pick passengers up get a hack license get the commercial insurance and have your vehicle inspected bottom lineAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09740143013337854441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034526698581235224.post-81166378819215574612015-07-13T18:34:49.157-04:002015-07-13T18:34:49.157-04:00Thank you very much for this information.

We cab drivers have the rates clearly marked in and on the cabs, the rates DO NOT CHANGE. There may be areas that have day and night differences, but none that I know of for sure. What company has the right to change their rates, especially up to 10 times the original amount, for any goods or services? NONE! <br /><br />Do you raise your rates at New Year’s Eve or on the 4th of July? Neither do we!!!!! <br /><br />These drivers go through a basic background check. We go through a fingerprinted level 2 federal background search. Our backgrounds are frequently monitored. I’m sure you know the differences in these types of checks.<br /><br />These drivers drive their own vehicle, which means it is up to them to maintain the vehicle to whatever standard they so choose. Our cabs are serviced every 5,000 miles or monthly. They are also randomly spot checked by the PTC inspectors. Additionally we have a shop that fixes any issues before they become a major issue. <br /><br />Not sure if they have drug screening, but we have pre-employment drug screenings and random screenings thereafter.<br /><br />Due to insurance rules, if you have had a DUI or a careless driving ticket ever (some insurance companies have a 10 year policy) you can not drive a cab.<br /><br />And the list goes on and on.<br /><br />You are right though, cabs are expensive, as are lawyers. It costs a lot to run a taxi business. In between the initial costs of the vehicles themselves, there are the costs for a 24 hour call center, dispatch services, office equipment, office personell, the vehicle repair costs, the building mortgage/rent, vehicle permits, radios and technology systems used to dispatch calls to the driver, apps that do exactly what Uber and Lyft do, various other unmentioned costs and the extremely expensive cost of commercial for-hire vehicle insurance. I’ve been told that this insurance can cost between $30 and $40, per day, per vehicle. There are only a handful of companies who write this type of insurance (the type that is required buy law for for-hire vehicles) and they are NOT CHEAP!<br /><br />Although this bill may cost tens of thousands of Buber/lyft jobs, the fact is that this is all smoke and mirrors. The truth is that uber and lyft, since they started operating in Florida, have cost thousands upon thousands of jobs. The reduction of calls to cab companies results in the reduction of cab drivers. Couple this with 20% of every trip is funneled to Uber and Lyft for their fee, these companies have cost the jobs of vendors, employees and drivers alike.<br /><br />Dont get me wrong, i am not anti uber/lyft, i am in favor of regulating the industry on a statewide level with the State of Florida mandating that every county adopt a standard set of laws, as established by the State of Florida. Right now, anyone, including a pedophile or convicted sex offender and mark their vehicle as a cab and start transporting customers in most of the counties in Florida. With poor background checks by these companies...... WHO’S slipping through the cracks? <br /><br />Of course each county can expand on the laws as needed, and that each county should allow for a certain amount of permits for Buber/lyft vehicles as based on public necessity formula, just like cabs are.<br /><br />What perplexes me is why you choose to endorse these companies who constantly violate the laws of Florida. With discounted taxi services available, it might make fewer and fewer people get DUI.... Then whatcha gonna do? <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363318988072817911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034526698581235224.post-52681504877615617952015-04-17T11:59:14.897-04:002015-04-17T11:59:14.897-04:00Leave it to a defense attorney to defend criminal ...Leave it to a defense attorney to defend criminal activity and propaganda. Let's be clear here, Uber and Lyft brought all of this on themselves, NOT the "entrenched special interest groups". <br /><br />Florida already has laws that define what a for-hire vehicle is and what insurances must be carried on these vehicles. Florida law also clearly states that the insurance must be maintained on the vehicle. Ya know, continuous insurance coverage on the vehicle and in accordance with the minimum requirements as set forth in the Florida Statutes! <br /><br />The Florida Legislature gave authority to various counties to establish rules governing the transportation industry and to have the power to enforce the rules. <br /><br />Ignorance is not an excuse in the eyes the law and there is no reason these companies did not FIRST comply with, and require the drivers comply with, the established laws other than greed. I'm merely a lowly cabbie, but yet I easily found the Florida Statutes, the FDOT rules, the DMV rules and even the various county rules and regulations pertaining to the transportation industry. These multi-million/billion dollar companies certainly could have done the same thing, especially considering they have a multitude of lawyers available to them. <br /><br />They CHOSE to break the laws and fight to change the laws afterwards. <br /><br />Is that the way it's supposed to work? Break the laws, continue to break the laws even when you're told to stop, hire lobbyists to try and get the laws changed all while continuing to break the laws for over a year and crying. .. Why are they picking on us? <br /><br />Is that the way the legal system is supposed to work? You tell me. ... You're the lawyer. <br /><br />Uber and Lyft chose to thumb their noses at the local laws and the State laws as well. These laws are well established and yet they chose to ignore them. Even when they were asked to meet with county officials to try and sort through the legal issues involved. ... They chose to refuse. Yes they did talk to some of these counties, but ultimately they chose to ignore the laws. <br /><br />What people fail to understand is that these drivers are performing taxi type services to the general public and that these companies are transportation service providers....just like cab companies. <br /><br />The majority of the customers who use these services are typically cab customers (excluding you evidentally). Some may have used designated drivers, some used luxury cabs or town cars, but they are, for the most part, cab customers. In fact, quite a few of them bounce between Uber/Lyft and cabs quite freguently because of surge pricing and availability. A new group of humans who must have app based transportation services didn't magically appear.... they are mostly cab customers!<br /><br />The drivers pick up customers from one point (just like cab drivers) and take them to their destination (just like cab drivers). <br /><br />The drivers have a program on their phone that uses an algorithm, that's controlled by the company, to determine the fare to be charged. This algorithm can be modified at any time by the company. We use taxi meters which are wired into the cabs electrical system so that it accurately measures the distance traveled and any appropriate waiting time. These meters are sealed and certified accurate by the Florida Department of Agriculture.<br /><br />These companies/drivers charge a fee if the customer cancels or is not there upon the drivers arrival (we call it a no-show). Cab drivers DO NOT charge a no-show fee, but instead we waste our own time AND GAS.<br /><br />These companies have the right, according to their terms and conditions, to share your information with third party companies. In fact, Uber (not sure about lyft) will charge you extra, according to their terms and conditions, if you choose not to have you information shared....
