XVP-Worst Las Vgeas Ripoff Gets Worse

[joel0457]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, however I don't see many cab drivers
at the $100 tables. My recollection from many years ago while driving a cab
while in college was long hours, poor pay but flexibility to take time off to
study during exams. Everyone is entitled to make a decent living and everyone has
a choice whether to pay the fares charged by a cab.
I suggest you take the bus.

The worst Las Vegas rip off, taxi's has gotten worse. Another increase. It
seems that if gas prices rise they get an increase but when they fall it's
never rescinded.

As usual everyone is blaming the cabbies and though it
does bother me when they long haul me through the
tunnel there is more to the story.
And guess who the main culprit is? Suprise
suprise....the government.You CANNOT own your own cab
in Las Vegas as you can in many cities.Cabbies are
forced to work for one of the 16 cab companies in Las
Vegas.
I wonder why this is? The unions are in bed with the
cab companies and the cabbies are the ones who get
screwed.
The Taxi Cab Authority has undercover cars driving
around the city making sure cabbies have the meters
turned on at all times.What a wonderful waste of
taxpayers money.
Let the cabbies own their own cabs and let them make
a little money instead of being whores for the strip
clubs.
But then again we are all about big government and we
regulate everything to death.

SteveB steps off his soap box.
