my expanding frustration with the pittsburgh cab situation
i'm currently working on a letter to the mayor of pittsburgh about the terrible time my friends and i had getting a cab two saturdays ago. i'm planning on sending a copy to the yellow cab company (which is more or less a monopoly in the town), the pennsylvania public utility commission (they regulate the cabs) and probably the allegheny institute for public policy. that organization published a report entitled "An Analysis for the Demand of Taxicabs in the Pittsburgh Area" in March of 2001. to read the report, click here and scroll down to report 01-01.
