Lyft Driver Lisa Roberts On Local Cabbies

"Sorry these old cab drivers spent so much money, but people spent a lot of money on 8 tracks and DOS computers, which didn't stop technology or progress.Riders prefer Lyft because our cars smell better, we don't mind short rides, they don't have to argue with us about payment and most importantly, we don't leave them standing on a street in the middle of the night!"
Tampa Cabbie/Blogger Tim Fasano fires back here

Legal or not, Lyft is a fantastic service that is a necessity, especially in a city with Poor public transit like Tampa.
We continue to show the world that we are (What the late great Neil Rogers use to  call us) "A nose-picking town."

Tampa Cabbie Tim Fasano Calling For National Taxi Strike


Tim, you are filming a video while you are driving?

They're after us. Time to fight back

We need you to contribute (or contribute again) now.  Please do so
