One San Francisco taxi driver we spoke to says he sees this program as Uber's way to get more drivers on the road, and not necessary to help taxi drivers make more money.

SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco officials voted to extend an agreement between Uber and the taxi company Flywheel that would change how taxi's operate in the city.

Today SFMTA's Board voted to extend a pilot program previously approved in September 2021. This program would allow passengers to order a taxi through the Uber app and automatically get rid of the taxi meter."I think it could possibly really harm the taxi industry. There is not enough guarantees in place to ensure that the pilot would be stopped if it starts going in the wrong direction," said Evelyn Engel with the San Francisco Taxi Workers Alliance.

"We want metered fares basically. We don't want low-balled Uber fares and many of us are not concerned about surge pricing either because it feel it's unfair to the customer," said Smith. A big concern for David is his taxi medallion. In 2014, he paid $250,000 for this certificate required to operate a taxi. He still owes more than $100,000 and feels trapped. He doesn't see this program as the solution.

"I'm still strong and can get a job with benefits and find other work. Even go back to school," said Smith and added,"I would if I wasn't married to the debt, but at this point it tends to consume your whole life. You work 6-7 days a week,10-12 hours a day."

Uber has unsuccessfully tried to kill the taxi industry. This is how they successfully do it by making them uber drivers. It’s baffling how this isn’t obvious. uner isn’t doing this to be altruistic. sfmta

Uber is not here to help taxi drivers...hopefully taxis will suck less.
