	An Economic Analysis of Taxicab Regulation in Portland, Oregon
		At the behest of the taxicab industry, City Council is now seeking a cooperative effort between the City, which regulates taxicabs, and the Port of Portland, which regulates ground transportation at the airport, to address "economic equity and public safety issues" for non-taxicab operations.
		Taxicabs, and paratransit more generally, effectively bridge the gap between private, single passenger automobiles - which cause too much congestion, waste travel time, and consume inordinate quantities of fuel - and public transit - which is overcrowded during peak periods, provides limited service during the off-peak, and operates on inflexible routes.
		Taxicabs are typically regulated as "common carriers", meaning that they provide transportation services to the general public in return for compensation, and are required to serve everyone who is able to pay[13] (Cervero, 1997).

	Taxicab Authority - Fares and Fees..
		When you enter a taxicab, the driver will start the taximeter (referred to as the “drop”) and an initial charge of $3.20 will register.
		If the taximeter senses that the taxicab is moving less than 8-12 MPH, the taximeter will assess a charge of $.25 (twenty-five cents) every 41 seconds ($22.00 per hour waiting time).
		Once the taximeter senses that the taxicab is moving at a speed greater than 8-12 MPH the fare calculates on the actual distance traveled.

	Boston.com / A&E / TV / 'Taxicab Confessions' returns
		Apart from the odd sex act, that's pretty much all there is to "Taxicab Confessions," the Emmy-winning HBO hidden-camera documentary series, which returns to TV tonight.
		Notwithstanding the simplicity of its premise, and the lurid promise of its title, "Taxicab Confessions" is a serious show, unexpectedly deep and poetic and moving.
		"Taxicab Confessions" reserves judgment, and in giving undoctored airtime to an array of characters, apparently mainstream or deceptively marginal -- people whom TV would normally either ignore or exploit -- it reminds the viewer that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in his philosophy.

	Taxicab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first modern meter-equipped taxicab was the Daimler Victoria, built by Gottlieb Daimler in 1897; the first motorized taxi company began operating in Stuttgart the same year.
		The New York taxicabs were imported from France by businessperson Harry N. Allen, who adapted the French word taxi-mètre and coined the word "taxicab" to describe the vehicles he was importing.
		Established in 1917, the Taxicab, Limousine and Paratransit Association (TLPA) is a non-profit trade association of and for the private passenger transportation industry.

		Taxicab medallions were private assets prior to 1978. Individuals and corporations could purchase a medallion for market rate, which was approximately $15,000. In 1978, the voters of San Francisco passed Proposition K, which drastically changed the taxicab industry. The medallions then became a public asset.
		Additionally, the Commission encouraged all San Francisco taxicabs drivers to attend biannual CPR training. ; Taxicab drivers are a valuable resource during emergencies and could potentially save lives during the course of their normal activities. Taxicab drivers know the ins-and-outs of San Francisco and are in direct contact with residents and tourists.
		“Taxicab Drivers” are non-medallion holders. A taxicab driver is a permitee licensed by the City to drive on behalf of the medallion holder.

	How the Taxicab Industry Was Junked
		In the "Taxicab Lease Agreement," paragraphs in artificial legal language are devoted to a denial that an employer-employee relationship exists, accompanied by a declaration that the person signing the "agreement" is not entitled to any statutory employee benefits and will not ask for them.
		Furthermore, in the "Taxicab Lease Agreement," the driver is assigned to a work shift, ordered to follow certain rules and regulations of the "leasing company," and committed to follow a variety of company policies.
		By means of that change under similar titles and schemes, hundreds of taxicab companies across the country have managed to send 50 to 60 years of progressive labor legislation down the drain.

	Taxicab Ordinance
		BACKGROUND: The bulk of the City’s current Taxicab Ordinance, codified at Chapter 5.16 of the Municipal Code, was adopted over 35 years ago and during that period of time only minor revisions to the ordinance have been made.
		To this end, the new ordinance has updated provisions which pertain to taxicab inspections, criminal history checks for drivers and owners of taxicabs, regular drug testing for taxicab drivers and insurance requirements that correspond to today’s liability climate.
		In anticipation of this ordinance’s adoption, the taxicab ownership transfer application of Yellow Cab LLC that was approved by the City Council on May 11, 2004 was processed in accordance with the requirements of the proposed ordinance and, accordingly, adoption of this ordinance by the Council will not affect that recently-approved ownership transfer.
