Akinrelere had expected to obtain one of 400 coveted new taxi medallions that were to be issued after the County Council voted last year to expand the number of cabs in Prince George’s.
But the taxi officials gave out only about two-thirds of the medallions that were promised. The remainder may never be issued, if a bill slated for a hearing Tuesday wins approval. That, drivers say, would reverse gains they achieved last year after a nearly five-year political battle. WA Post
The issue is taxi congestion, the solution is congestion pricing for taxis. Here is how my law works. Anybody who wants to operate a taxi get the GPS-Ometer for a few bucks. When the taxi is in a taxi congested area, then the driver will pay a per mile fee.
The solution is simple, so simple that taxi corruption is the only reason to dismiss it.
