Yellow Cab Company of Waco on Friday said they will be out of the store by noon. The company was founded by Bill Kemp in the 70s. Says Waco has contributed well to his company over the years. "We used to have 16 taxis with 400 phone calls per night.
We recently had 4 or 5 taxis here making less than 100 phone calls per night. Mr Kemp blamed an unequal pitch for the downswing in his company. Waco's Waco system has expanded the range. At the same time, companies like Lyft and Uber do not have to follow the same set of ground rules. However, they are not obliged to do so.
"is charging us $100 a year to serve every cab, Lyft and Uber don't have to charge. Then we' ll have to put all our riders to the acid test. We' ve all listened to the nightmare tales about riders for these other services." Says Kemp, unless all transport operations are handled in the same way he doesn't see much room for improvement for the cab company.
Can' see any driver who''s willing to pay about the $100 operating charge. If Waco will ever have a cab company again, unless things start changing.
Another evidence that kills about the cab business.

The Yellow Cab, the biggest cab operator in San Francisco. San Francisco examiner Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez reported that Yellow Cab will apply for insolvency cover. "We' re in the middle of severe economic setbacks," Pamela Martinez, Yellow Cab Cooperative, Inc. Chairman, said in a shareholder newsletter Rodriguez received.
Roderiguez talked to "long-time taxi giants " who said that driving companies like Uber and Lyft are among the causes of Yellow Cab's problems. Start-ups are tackling all front ends - offering cheaper and more comfortable journeys and also attracting Yellow Cab riders, Rodriguez states.
The San Francisco cab industy is not the only one that feels the start-ups hot. Uber and Lyft drop the price of New York City lockets needed to run yellow taxis. There is a strict border for locket medals, so they have become a separate commodity in the New York cabshop.
Uber, which is active in 67 nations, recently collected an extra 2.1 billion dollars for a rating of 62.5 billion dollars. It has attracted the contempt of cab riders around the globe and has been the object of protest by cab riders in New York City, Paris, London, Toronto, Sao Paulo, Rome, Brussels and other major towns.
Lyft, which is active only in the USA, has recently collected a billion dollars, 500 million of them from General Motors, and has a value of 5.5 billion dollars. Apart from the numbers, there is clearly a continuing change in the taxi industry, and San Francisco's Yellow Taxi is just the latest milestone of mass changes yet to come.
