Council shouldn’t meddle in cab fares
Steve Eldridge, The Examiner Oct 24, 2007 3:00 AM (778 days ago)WASHINGTON Oh great. Now the D.C. Council wants to have a say in what fares will be administered as part of the recently authorized time and distance meter system in cabs. Could anything be more ripe for a political stalemate? Maybe the council should also have a say in how much vendors can charge for a Snickers bar or a pizza. Now I feel sorry for the cabdrivers who will have to try to make a living on politically manipulated fares. If the cab fares are too high for every single resident in the city to make use of, then maybe they could consider taking a bus or the rail instead. We have plenty of options in this town, and the council should at some point let the free-market system do its thing.
