这个可能是地税炸弹：Taxi drivers glued to every minute of $215M lawsuit against city

[billwanhua]

如果这个官司Ottawa失败了，加上LRT 窟窿，city不破产也会狠狠加地税，是时候搬家了，不行搬河对面去。

At travel hubs, hotels and malls across the city, taxi drivers waiting for fares are watching and breaking down the long-awaited industry lawsuit against the City of Ottawa.

The $215 million lawsuit alleges the city did not take reasonable steps to protect taxi plate owners when it approved Uber as its first ride-hailing company to legally operate in September 2016.

Plates, issued by the city, are required to drive a cab. Their numbers are limited, so plate owners planned their retirement on the idea they could sell them for a considerable sum. That changed after Uber entered the market.

在这反面，我市与其他地区要何明显不同的政策？

这个站在出租车司机这边。政策没有对taxi和Uber一视同仁。

没想到，出租车牌照这么贵，2005年，一个牌照16万，这位卖了房子买牌照。
Skaff sold a house he owned with his brother in 2005 to buy a taxi plate for $160,000. The plate is now worth $6,000.

就像80年代在北京不买房去买彩电一样

牌照价忒高了，TX司机是该告

 

[茶马盐铁]

这年头， 都Uber啦， 谁还去坐Taxi？

16万是政府公开价，还是民间交易价？

215M 对渥市是小意思

问题在于16万并不是市政府的价格，钱也没有给市政府

这应该算投机，或者投资，不违法，但有了损失也别找别人，就像他赚了钱也不会分给别人

我不知道啊，那句话是 1 楼 CBC 新闻里面的。这是有人倒卖出租车牌照？政府公开价多少？

好像是500块，不过没货

The elephant in taxi industry's room: value of plates is evaporating

Before Uber entered the market, taxi plates sold for $200,000 to $300,000.

ottawacitizen.com

Acting city deputy manager Susan Jones says the city regulates plates, but does not recognize their street value. As a regulator, it does not anticipate new technology and how it might shift the economics of an industry. The city used to regulate video stores, for example, but had no role to play in their survival when on-demand video services appeared.


However, video stores are not regulated by the city in the way taxis are. And it’s important to note that the plates are not being sold on some sort of “black market”. The city not only allows for the transfer of plates but charges almost $4,000 for a transfer.

city 黑呀， 官方支持黑市买卖，并收$4000。支撑打官司。

16万是政府公开价，还是民间交易价？

这个是民间价格，赚钱的是买了原始股的人。市政府没有从中分到一分钱。
实际上，绝大多数牌照掌握在少数人手里。大多数出租司机从这些人手里“租”牌照。

市政府搞了$4000

这是管理费。一年最多就是一二十个交易，市政府不靠这个发财
