Idea: Law for Taxis

Joseph Iglehart about 2 years ago

Las Vegas cabs are prohibited by law from stopping for a customer on the street ...even if the cab is empty! Taxis may only pick up at hotels and established pickup points. We Should add that to the taxis here in Austin, so that everyone would know where they can get picked up safely and not in the road

    I think people voting on this issue should try getting a taxi on a mission critical schedule.  2 out of 4 times i've missed connections because of greater than 1 hour waits for a cab.  Even cabbies admit austin is notoriously bad for cab service.  Anything to alleviate the problem is welcome.  When supply meets demand, then consider restricting providers.

    When trying to get a cab when the bars let out down town people walk into the streets to hail a cab. This is a danger to our citizens and other motorist. Having a designated space would eliminate/reduce people running in the streets to desperately get a cab.
