Taxi Drivers Helping Uber Drivers

An Anonymous Coward writes with the news that Hawaiian Cab Companies Offer to Retrain Uber Drivers:

[On April 7th,] Hawaii legislators voted to take Senate Bill 1280 into conference as the final weeks of the 2015 legislative session approach. SB 1280 seeks to regulate Transportation Network Companies by appropriating funds to the state Public Utilities Commission for the purpose of regulating Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) and their drivers. The bill would also mandate that TNCs register as businesses with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. It would also establish insurance requirements and qualifications for ride-hailing drivers.

“Drivers shouldn't feel like they can't make a living or make part-time money transporting passengers,” said Dale Evans, President of Charley's Taxi. Evans also said “Our company will happily help any Uber driver who wants to keep driving legally as a Taxi driver. We'll assist them with following the necessary steps to get licensed, get the correct equipment and have the proper insurance. Nobody should lose out on their ability to earn money because of SB1280.

    Why are you responding to your own comments, yelling at yourself for responding to your own comments?

      Because I'm a total schizo nutjob, if that wasn't clear by the 2nd post it was painfully obvious by the 3rd.

              That's really just my persecution complex. I don't have assburgers.
