San Antonio City Council rejected a proposal to remove cap on taxi permits and allow an unlimited number of taxi drivers to operate independently of companies and co-ops.
Houston and Dallas have adopted these proposals to remove taxi permit caps & allow unlimited taxi drivers independent of companies and coops.
The supporting rational for not removing caps?
- The cities that removed the caos and restrictions were said to have had periods of regulatory chaos.
- It dilutes the opportunities for each of the taxi cab operators to make a living wage
