New York City taxi and rideshare drivers to receive a living wage

That’s right. Nothing is being done for the yellows. Yellow cabs have been crushed by the app cars, which do the same thing but skirt paying for a Medallion. They circumvent the fact that they do real-time street hails with an app by claiming they’re ‘pre-arranged.’ Yellows are about to get hit with a $2.50 MTA tax on every trip in addition to the .80 they have been paying for years (Millions). Uber can claim the trip is a pool ride regardless of whether they pick up more than one passenger, and skirt by with .75.
