Pennsylvania, San Francisco had Uber, Lyft killed taxi driver sue says

The San Francisco taxi medals have had a high value since the emergence of Uber and Lyft. Now, the San Francisco Federal Credit Union, which grants credit to taxi drivers to buy the $250,000 medallion, is pressing charges against the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agent, which says that the travel agent collapsed the taxi industry and turned away from promising to ensure the value of the medallion.

A lawsuit lodged this weekend in San Francisco Superior Court said that the cooperative loan association supported $125 million for more than 700 of the lockets and had to exclude 99 of them, while hundred more riders are trying to hand over their lockets. She is demanding $28 million in compensation and wants the FTA to spend more million on buying back all the locketing.

ESTV "has decided to bury its heads in the mud while the cooperative society and the hard-working medalists are tackled by taxi drivers with all their burdens," said the outfit. The San Francisco and the FTA have no competence for ride-hauling because they are governed at the state as such. Cab operators have long been complaining that the easier state rules allow start-ups to EDM their businesses.

However, other assertions, such as that the FTA did not adhere to special guarantee schemes vis-à-vis the cooperative, could also have more teeth. However, the FTA has not yet done so. According to the action, the municipality received $64 million in revenue from the sales of locket medals supported by it. The medals from San Francisco used to be free and were given to riders after being on a waitinglist for 15 or more years because the overall number was limited.

More than 3,000 have been on the shortlist since medals became available when riders die, retire, become handicapped or lose their driving licences. During 2010, the town began selling $250,000 each of medals to establish "a cash machine" to help with budgetary failures, the garment said. "ESTVG built an exorbitant fortune out of nothing," the garment said - but the scheme was based on locating a creditor to fund locket sales, as most taxi riders couldn't buy $250,000.

While San Francisco turned to a number of creditors and received many refusals, the cooperative finally accepted to support the purchase even though it was worried about the risk. ESTV gave her sensitive information on taxi drivers' incomes, consented to make it easier for them to sell the medals, ensured that the prize would not drop below $250,000, and said it would transfer excluded medals again, the suit said.

By 2012, taxi riders with a medallion could be earning an estimated $9,500 a month per day on their own, as well as hiring their medals and taxis for the second day of the week, the complaint said. By 2016, however, this figure had dropped to $4,500 as revenue from the taxi industry fell and it became "almost impossible to find a second driver" for a second layer.

"Sometimes a taxi rider was fortunate enough to make $50," after spending a 10-hour shift, said the suit. Mm. From 2013, when Lyft and Uber began to gain shares of the markets, CSU began to be concerned and asked the FTA again how it would react. "In 2013, we can' t finance taxi credits if (the FTA) the deal goes down," said Steven Stapp, CEO of CSU, in an e-mail to a fellow member.

During 2016, "the ESTVG repeated its promise to the cooperative to take action to revive the taxi industry," the claim said. Promising measures such as reform of transport legislation, aggressive media advertising of locket packs and the hiring of experts, it never raised them in executive committee sessions, the suit said. Until autumn 2016, 485 medallists were on a waiting queue to hand in their medals; the FTA is to give them 200,000 dollars each, so that medallists could presumably use this cash to reimburse their credits from the Co-operative.
