I couldn't help to notice sometimes when national corporate media writers play taxi hater writer mother fucker and basically play Terry Blue. As an award winning taxi writer and expert through the years I a amazed at the amount of print material and time other media outlets have given to the taxi industry and the battle with Uber and other drive-share program. \Marlene Garcia wrote an article how angry it gets her politicians allow ride-sharing companies steamroll through cities an ruining the monopolies of these workers, most of whom are imported from overseas because the cab companies made working conditions so third-world and unacceptable for the average American worker. Marlena and a Chicago alderman are pressing for more costs for Uber and Lyft to be more handicap accessible as cab companies were regulated to have to achieve in the past.
Uber has fought lawsuits against this ridiculous compliances of the American with disabilities Act forcing these companies to have to spend for devices hardly used. The attempts by Alderman Anthony Beale and advocated by Marlen Garcia are total bullshit especially given the number of transportation providers who do accommodate wheelchairs and basically why these providers even exist. Garcia worries about cab struggles leaving many wheel chair folks behind in th\e dust without the equipped expensive vehicles that both cab companies and Uber shouldn't be forced by government to provide. too bad so sad for the wheel chair folks and tell them to invest and pool their money into developing an electric or gas-powered wheel chairs.
If Marlene Garcia thinks Uber and Lyft need to be setting side a huge chunks of their drivers to accommodate crippled people she can forget it.
