Uber's second summer sees big losses in taxi numbers

During the second half of the year, when car pools such as Uber and Lyft were working on the South Fork, the local cities saw the number of taxis they exhibited fall - by almost 60 per cent in East Hampton Town and by 55 per cent in Southampton Town. Where the Montauk political arena has long been attracting many taxi riders in East Hampton Town, the number of taxi cars licensed this past season has fallen from 266 in 2017 to only 109 in 2018.

According to the East Hampton Town secretary's bureau, the number of taxi riders has fallen from 331 in 2017 to 135 in 2018. Southampton Town saw the number of taxi and livre operators drop from 228 in 2017 to 104 in 2018, and the number of authorised taxi and livre operators from 243 to 134.

In fact, some of the taxi operators who had rented their vehicles to riders in the past - a policy that contravened the city law but turned out to be hard to contain through enforcement - said riders are now doing the same for Uber and Lyft riders, often in vehicles that still bear the marks of their previous taxi lives.

Taxi operators say they had to take taxis off the street to lower cost and driver numbers because others failed to work independent through the app-based Uber and Lyft car pooling formats. "Essentially I tried not to diminish too much and see how it went this year, but I will make a different choice at the end of the year," said Michael Heather, proprietor of Montauk-based Moko Taxis, who said he had about 25 per cent fewer taxis on the street this year than last year.

Riders said they have seen the effects of Uber in their end result and when they are parking at favorite pick-up points. The riders also complain that Uber and Lyft riders do not follow the regulations of their selected media. Government regulations that have taken away the local carpooling regulation also require that riders working under one of the app-based companies' umbrella cannot tolerate journeys that have not been arranged under the application.

Cabrrivers say that the limitation is periodically ignored or falsified to match what is effective in hacking. You also said that Uber and Lyft driver have left the application models and have given their telephone numbers to the passengers in order to organize trips on their own, thus eliminating the high percent of the ticket price that businesses take.

Pablo said that for the moment, the effect has been a stripe on the horizon, as not so many cabs from points in the western area travel to the area, chauffeurs who are known to have broken acceptable pick-up protocol by getting out of their vehicles and asking for journeys or queuing.

Like they did last summers, riders say that the high cost of insurances and local driver's licences and the declining number of individuals dialing a telephone number or calling a taxi curb have made the switch to a tempting carpool. Both cities require a taxi operator to spend $750 per year to get a license, each rider $100 and an extra $150 for each one.

Südampton had seen a continuous decrease in the number of licences it had been issuing since 2016, when it adopted new licence terms, complete with fingerprints - a decrease that many taxi operators said was probably due to the fact that taxi operators refused to obtain the licences but were still providing service because Southampton Town was less aggressively enforcing the taxi terms than East Hampton Town.

In 2015, East Hampton famed Uber for its anger at imposing new rules obliging all rental companies to register their vehicles at an East Hampton location, and citing more than 20 Uber motorists - all of whom were New York City residents at the point for breaking the rules - in 2015.

They closed their beloved application in the city and ran a PR drive to embarrass the city and abandon its implementation. At the end, the enterprise won its grace period from Governor Andrew Cuomo and the state legislature when they adopted new nationwide carpooling laws exempting it from local regulation.

This rule came into force in June 2017, and almost immediately taxi operators saw how skippers began to leave the vessel, losing clients and revenues to app-based auto-management. A few have said that there are some setbacks among passengers because the accessibility of over- or lyft trips is sometimes low, and also because some cyclists are trying to partake of the " surge pricing that Uber prescribes in areas of high and low uptake.

Said he listened to his clients complaining about the volatile pricing of app-based service, but recognized that the ease of payment by debit cards, automatic, through the application gains a great deal of experience anyway.
