Chicago cabbies incomes exposed

Terry Blue

   Cabbies in Chicago are often trying to get a fair hike and often claim their income has dropped in various studies they bring out. City Hall came out with their own study in late August showing that these cab drivers on average earns twenty one dollars an hour and that their largest expense is mainly the leases they take out to roll out new vehicles onto the taxi fleet. Over ninety percent of cab drivers lease their own vehicles and these are the real costs they are trying to recover as quickly as possible with these higher rates. Taxi rides are already outlandishly expensive for people for the short rides many take. Forty percent of these bastards work eleven hours or more a day putting themselves and passengers at risk with their sleep depraved money hungry  ways in the contacted streets in cites across America. These cab driver snipers have been crying poverty for so long producing their tainted studies trying to highlight how little they make when other more comprehensively government studies shows this isn't  exactly true. Some alderman will fight to get these drivers an increase that will just put them at a competitive disadvantage and see folks use other alternatives to get around whether that's rid g a bike,walking, or ride share programs and companies.  Ignorant Cab drivers and this industry is obviously part of the reasons so many urban people have taken to peddling in recent years. If the cabbies do t like their income they can go back to India and get some call-center jobs
