The Airport is regulated as to who can pick up; taxis need to get a hackney license from the Boston police and screw it to the back of the taxi; they need to post fares, and they can only charge a certain amount from location to location so it is FAIR. If you want freedom, then let freedom ring for all !!!!jethronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-47058960533096090942013-03-15T13:33:24.047-04:002013-03-15T13:33:24.047-04:00Andy has a good point; it is also becoming very im...Andy has a good point; it is also becoming very important to priortize basically forcing people to walk more, for health's sake.<br /><br />nonlocalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-91507413352049091872013-03-15T12:48:08.558-04:002013-03-15T12:48:08.558-04:00I love the innovative new transportation apps that...I love the innovative new transportation apps that are being developed. I use Uber here in philly and have really liked it. From what I understand, uber has had many regulatory challenges preventing it from expanding more rapidly, which is a shame.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06033975359577278110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-57046614043968716052013-03-15T11:36:50.583-04:002013-03-15T11:36:50.583-04:00He have some startups in San Francisco attempting ...He have some startups in San Francisco attempting the same, as well as a privately-owned-car ride service whose cars are identified by pink mustaches dangling from the front bumper. It's all a great example of the sharing economy, yet most of these private car trips would be unneeded if Boston and San Francisco would follow the lead of European cities and build-out abundant light and heavy rail and cycle tracks, and pedestrianize retail streets. Europe is learning that the most effective sources of funding are driving disincentives--per-mile driving fees and high car registration fees.Andy Likuskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243509528667987276noreply@blogger.com
