We are in the midst of serious financial setbacks,” Martinez wrote in a letter to the co-op’s members last month. “Some are due to business challenges beyond our control, and others are of our own making.”

Sounds like poor management by the taxi company is part to blame.

That's because this management was going along with government set policy, better yet a collusion. Why change if they are in the comfort zone for decades?

Except that it is an unnatural free market occurrence...if free market were allowed to exist unimpeded most of these radical pattern interrupts would not happen....they would have occurred gradually over time in an incremental advancing state....and of course the nanny will gradually exert their dominion over these new consumer friendly models....much like they are doing with AirBnB...





Private concerns have often used the "nanny" to protect and enable their interest ..with the nanny diminished..you don't think that the private concerns will to find other means to serve their agendas?
Heck..they may even be worse than the nanny was.
I agree...it's called crony capitalism and I'm against it....it's why the CEOs and Wall St fat cats will align with Hillary over Trump because she, like Obama are very pro cronyism....

Back in the '70s I used to take one of those "protected" cabs from the airport home, that cost twice as much as the cab that took me to the airport.

Besides, the first line after the cited article's title is "Yellow Cab’s chapter 11 filing comes amid rise of ride-hailing rivals Uber and Lyft ".

Heck, if they charge double and can't make money, then good riddance.

That's because the government set the pricing. Taxi cannot charge what they want. They have no one to blame but the people who put them there and wanting to be there in the first place.

Not only did they set the prices but also the insane prices to do business via Taxi medallions....

Quote:
 
The catch: They cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Medallion prices have skyrocketed in recent years, up 50% between 2009 and 2014, to a high of more than $1 million each. Some drivers own their medallions, but often medallions are owned by companies that operate fleets of taxis. A New York City taxi medallion

A) National Review has lost any credibility they once had...sad

B) Bookmark away....you will never find me defending or advocating crony capitalism....it's why the national chamber of commerce has been corrupted...

C) Trump has admitted to playing the game of buying politicians to gain advantage....Saul to Paul....

D) There is an off chance that Trump could use the office to enrich himself and his cronies which at worst would make him the equivalent to what we have now....the fact that ALL of the crony capitalists/lobbyists,and bought politicians are fighting with everything they got to fend off the one person who has not taken their cash, is not beholden to them and actually has a reputation to maintain leaves the upside of Trump infinitely better than the alternatives....besides Trump actually likes America...unlike the current occupant.....

Actually..you are predictable

I went to your link on national review and saw a strong anti trump vibe..so later..I posted a link to one of those knowing that instead of addressing the substance of the piece, you would just attack the messenger and that you would go into yabbut mode when I called you on it. :lol:

This sounds more like traditional taxi models are losing ground to new models like uber and lyft..isn't this the crux of capitalism?
yeah , I was going to say ..

Taxi companies are going belly up everywhere right now.
