MYVIEW ● Portland’s changes in taxi business might need tinkering to benefi t customers Coop’s advice: Don’t limit taxis or their fares By James Wold Nov. 15 Portland Tri- bune news story about Union Cab of APortland (Here Come the Cabs) was brought to my attention. For what it’s worth, I will offer you some free ad- vice about taxi companies and their regulation based upon my 30 years at Union Cab of Madison Coop, Wisconsin. In Madison, we do not have light rail and we do have seri- ous winter that limits biking year-round. We just had a new taxi company start up in Octo- ber of 2011. We have four taxi companies locally — two that charge fares by zone, two that charge by meter rates. The fares are very similar between the two types of taxi service. Meter taxis offer indi- vidual service for higher pric- es for the distance covered. Zone taxis offer shared-ride service for lower prices for the distance covered. Union Cab of Madison pays drivers on commission. The other companies charge some version of lease fees and the driver keeps the amounts over the lease fee. In our system, anyone who wants can start a taxi compa- ny if they meet those regulato- TRIBUNE PHOTO: CHRISTOPHER ONSTOTT ry requirements.

Summary: Oregon appears to be an early con- tender for the BCS national championship in 2013, with eight starters returning on offense and defense and plenty of experienced depth. The season opens Aug. 31 at Autzen Stadium against Nicholls State, and the schedule includes a home date with Tennessee on Sept. 14, a road game at Stanford and games with UCLA and Utah. QUARTERBACK
