An application fee or they pay for the criminal background check and they pay renewal fees and the people who operate, the taxi medallions have paid a quarter of a million and this fiscal year alone that is 30 million of the new revenue, to the sfmta and the holders pay a stiff fee that i believe is about 1500 dollars a year. And i would have to say that the largest burden to the taxi industry, is the cost of insurance. And we require, that all taxi drivers be covered by the Workers Compensation insurance and that is incredibly expensive but everybody has it in place, and the lack of level Playing Field between the tncs and the taxi industry. If we are talking about that, we will talk about the tens of million of dollars, from the taxi industry to the city, how does that compare to what the tnc pays the city or the state . They are authorized for the proof of arrangement to ask to see the phone that was booked for the trip and if there is a lot of white space on that page that is becau
Insurance and the tncs insurance and any other source. The average and mean number of hours, driven by each tnc driver, so i guess, at the end of the year, we will start to see some actual documentation or at least selfreported documentation, and how many drivers and vehicles we have. Is there any regulation on how many drivers can work for, you know . Can they work for, you know a very extended period of time . According to the cpc decision, no regulation of hours driven and i believe that it will come under the state law, and they are prohibited from driving more than ten hours at a time more than a certain period of rest. There is nothing that says more than 60 hours each. And could you take a break in there. Under the state law . Under the existing. Not only, nothing that addresses the driving hours in the cpc decision and also there is absolutely no way to monitor that. Okay. Thank you can you tell us how they are regulated verses how the taxi drivers are regulated. Before you bec
Is a very subjective thing and so, that is a difficult point, i think. And the tncs are required to report this in september again i think this is 2014, how many rides were requested and how many rides were not accepted by the zip codes and so that will be the performance measure at the end of the year to see how many rides were requested by zip code and in that zip code, how many of those rides were not actually provided . So, there is a number of reports that are due to the cpuc. And the difficulty from my perspective about this reporting requirement is that it really amounts to selfregulation because if i just asked the taxi industry to send me a report, when they violate something, then, i dont think that i would be very effective. But, the reports that are required, are the number of drivers down to the committed violations or who have been suspended and the zero tolerance and the out comes of investigation, and each accident or other incident which is not defined and that involve
