Were concerned about. General public drivers picking up street hails. Last week in the last few weeks there was a registered sex offender actually found to be trying to pick up a street hail so this is a real concern to us when private vehicles that are not clearly marked are providing services so we know the values of Good Customer Service and non discrimination. All customers are required to be served in the taxi industry, all neighborhoods are required to be served. We can do better on that. All cabs are required to accept credit cards and debit cards and then theres the clear and fair structure. Accessibility taxis have been part of our para Transit Program since 1981 so we have a long history in working with them and weve had Wheelchair Accessible taxis since is the 1994. If there were no para Transit Service we estimate it would cost the city approximately 6 million more in those para transit trips to be provided on vans.

Let me know. I really wanted to position the sfmtas values related to a regulated taxi industry and that theres a public good to having a regulated taxi industry and that we have an interest in maintaining a strong and healthy taxi industry.
