  • Worcester Regulations Regarding Taxis and Liveries
    Fare Play? Regulating Worcester’s Livery Vehicles and Taxis Report 12-04 October 2012 Worcester Regional Research Bureau, Inc. 500 Salisbury Street, Worcester, MA 01609 • 508-799-7169 tel • www.wrrb.org FARE PLAY? Regulating Worcester's Livery Vehicles and Taxis EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On July 17, 2012, the Worcester City Council adopted a moratorium on the issuance of new livery vehicle licenses because of disagreements between taxi cab and livery company owners about the enforcement of city regulations regarding livery operations, and in order to give the City Council time to determine whether the City needs to impose a legal limit on the number of livery vehicles operating in Worcester. To assist the City Council in its decision-making, The Research Bureau undertook a review of the origin and history of limiting licenses in Worcester and other cities and the economic impact of these restrictions. Based on its findings, the Bureau makes the following recommendations: • The City should not set a limit to the number of livery vehicles. Doing so would only encourage the spread of illegal, unregulated vehicle operations. Licensed livery vehicles will continue to be required to meet public safety standards. • The City should reconsider the regulation that livery vehicles accept only fares that have been arranged at least two hours in advance. While taxi companies strongly favor this restriction, it does not demonstrably serve the public interest, and would be difficult to enforce in the absence of draconian methods that divert police attention from more important matters. • Such regulations will be even less enforceable as a consequence of new technology which enables consumers to hail private taxi or livery vehicles on demand through a smartphone application and GPS technology.

    EasyChair Preprint № 55 New York City Medallion Market's Rise, Fall, and Regulation Implications Sherraina Song EasyChair preprints are intended for rapid dissemination of research results and are integrated with the rest of EasyChair. April 9, 2018 New York City Medallion Market’s Rise, Fall, and Regulation Implications Sherraina Song Shrewsbury High School, Shrewsbury, MA, 01545, USA [email protected] Abstract. Capping the number of licenses giving exclusive right to street hailing passengers, the New York City medallion system manipulated the demand and supply of taxicab market and made the Yellow Cab medallion not only a commodity of scarcity and but also an investment product hotly pursued. Since 1937, the medallion market evolved and experienced four phases of birth, formation, booming, and collapse and is fighting a losing battle against the newly emerged app-based, ride-sharing service providers like Uber and Lyft. This article presented the findings from mining the data made available by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission, conducted analysis, and argued the deregulation of the New York City taxicab industry has started and that should not and will not be turned back. Keywords: New York City Taxicab, Yellow Cab Taxis, Medallion, Uber, Lyft, TLC, Taxi & Limousine Commission, Green Cab Taxis, For-Hire Vehicle, SHV, App-based, Ride-sharing New York City Taxicab The New York City (NYC) taxicab market is one of about one million passengers per day and annual revenue of two billion US dollars. Thanks to government regulations, there are two sectors of taxicab services in New York City– street hailing and pre- arranged pick-up and three major classes of taxi cabs - Yellow Taxi Cab (Yellow Cab), For-Hire Vehicles (FHVs), and Street Hail Livery (SHL) Street hailer service providers can pick up passengers in response to a street hail.

  • Regulatory Overdrive: Taxi Regulations, Market Concentration
    Regulatory Overdrive Taxi Regulations, Market Concentration and Service Availability by Samuel R. Staley, Ph.D., Catherine Annis and Matthew Kelly TAXI October 2018 Regulatory Overdrive Taxi Regulations, Market Concentration and Service Availability Executive Summary Traditional taxis are highly regulated in most American cities, with local regulators determining everything from how many taxis can be licensed to the types of services they can provide to the fares they can charge to where they can pick up customers. Ridesharing apps like Uber and Lyft, meanwhile, operate with comparatively few regulatory constraints, and there is little reason to believe consumers are faring any worse for it. In fact, consumers are increasingly voting with their feet—or phones—and choosing ridesharing services over taxis. This prompts an important policy question: Does traditional taxi regulation make sense in a world with ridesharing? To begin to answer this question, this study reviews the taxi regulations and market characteristics of 44 major U.S. cities. Specifically, it explores (1) the relationship between taxi regulations and concentration of ownership within a city’s taxi industry and (2) the relationship between concentrated ownership and taxi availability. Key findings include: • All 44 cities studied regulate taxis tightly, adopting five of 10 major regulatory provisions on average, but the specific regulations they use vary widely. This suggests cities are making taxi policy absent a common understanding of what regulatory provisions, if any, are necessary to protect consumers. • Taxi markets tend to be highly concentrated. In the average city, the top three taxi firms control about 61 percent of the taxi vehicles operating there.

  • Economics of the Taxi Industry: an Uber Shake-Up 1
    Running Head: ECONOMICS OF THE TAXI INDUSTRY: AN UBER SHAKE-UP 1 Economics of the Taxi Industry: An Uber Shake-up Steven Rahel Spring 2016 Honors Thesis Advisor: Dr. David Finoff University of Wyoming ECONOMICS OF THE TAXI INDUSTRY: AN UBER SHAKE-UP 2 Introduction The taxicab has long been one of the dominant forms of transportation in cities around the world. By the late 1930s, most cities had placed government regulations on the taxi industry to combat the oversupply of taxis. This was meant to stabilize prices, ensure the safety and quality of taxis, and give drivers a livable wage. However, these government regulations restricted entry through capping the supply of taxis, leading to the creation of local taxi monopolies in some cities (Snead, 2015). Taxi companies have been benefitting from a lack of competition in the for-hire transportation market until recently. The major challenge that the taxi industry is currently facing is the technological innovation of ride-sharing applications. Ride- sharing companies, namely Uber and Lyft, operate by using a smartphone app to match consumers requesting rides with drivers that will take them there. Since its inception in 2009, Uber has gained significant market share in the United States and worldwide (Uber, 2016). Downs (2015) writes about a key distinction between ride-sharing app’s and taxi’s, “Uber doesn’t provide its own vehicles or operators, but works with existing licensed drivers” (p. 1). This distinction allows Uber to be viewed as a matchmaker rather than a transport provider, which has kept Uber unregulated, much to the displeasure of the taxi industry.

  • The Case of New York Taxicab Medallions
    Problematic Private Property: The Case of New York Taxicab Medallions Katrina Miriam Wymant Yellow taxicabs are an iconic symbol of New York City. Almost as well- known as the City's yellow taxis are the valuable licenses that vehicles must have in order to be used as taxis. Often called medallions, these licenses constitute a form of private property. They are routinely bought and sold, leased, used as collateralfor loans, and count as assets in bankruptcy. This Article emphasizes the political character of property rights in the modern state through a case study of why New York taxi medallions continue to exist. Prominent explanations of the evolution of property rights imply that they are a distinct category of rights that emerge organically within society because their benefits exceed their costs. This Article takes a decidedly more regulatory view of property rights as top-down creations of the state. As instruments of the state, property rights arise and persist from political decision-making processes influenced by interest group pressures. This avowedly regulatory conception of property rights suggests that we likely have both efficient and inefficient property rights because there is no necessary correspondence between what is cost-beneficial for society as a whole and the outcomes of political decision-makingprocesses. This Article argues that New York taxicab licenses are an instance of inefficient private property rights sustained by political decision-makingprocesses subject to pressuresfrom powerful interest groups.

  • NYC Taxi Medallions
    LEONARD N. STERN SCHOOL OF BUSINESS NEW YORK UNIVERSITY NYC Taxi Medallions Ever asked yourself | perhaps on a rainy afternoon in Manhattan | why there aren'tt more taxi cabs in New York City? Part of the answer is that, in order to drive a cab in the Big Apple you need a license, a medallion. Currently, there are 13,237 medallions in the city (see Exhibit 1). New medallions, when issued, are sold at auction. But the issue of new medallions is a rare event. More common is for existing medallions to be transacted. In August 2011, three taxi medallions sold for record high prices | including two for a whopping $705,000. Many thought this to be a very high price, especially considering \speculation that the good-as- gold aluminum plates would plummet in value because of Mayor Bloomberg's five-borough taxi plan."1 But a few weeks later a blogger was asking What on earth is going on with the price of taxi medallions in NYC? Two of them just sold for $1 million apiece | thats a 42% increase just since August, when conventional wisdom had it that $705,000 was a top tick and that medallions would soon plunge in value.2 According to the New York Times, The sale was the culmination of decades of astonishing growth for the humble medallion, which is nailed to the hood of every yellow cab in the city. When New York issued its first batch of medallions in 1937, the going price was $10 even, or $157.50 in today's dollars.3 Exhibit 1 plots the historical average price of medallions since World War II.
