Iinkampani ezine ezineelayisensi ze-e ziya kuba nakho ukunika abakhweli amaxabiso okuhamba ngaphambili eeteksi.I-STAN HONDA / AFP / imifanekiso kaFetty Ukuqala kwinyanga ezayo, ii-teksi zeeteksi zokusebenza zinokukwazi ukunika abakhweli imali yokukhwela kwangaphambili kwiinzame zokunika abathengi ukhetho oluninzi kunye nokunceda abaqhubi benze imali ngakumbi.
IKhomishini yeTeksi kunye neLimousine Commission (TLC) yesixeko iza kuthi ivote kwisigqibo ngoMatshi 29 sokuseka Inkqubo yokulinga Ingavumela iiapps ukuba zibonelele ngaphambili, iseti yokugibela kubagibeli abacela itekisi eluhlaza okanye emthubi ngefowuni Njengenxalenye yokulinga, iinkampani ziya kumisela amaxabiso azo kwaye zibaxele kwi-TLC. Ukusetyenziswa kwezixhobo zokusebenza kukuzithandela kwabaqhubi.
Iinkampani zinokuthatha inxaxheba ukuba zinelayisensi ye-e-hail, enikwa iiapps apho abakhweli banokuthi babambe itekisi. Okwangoku, iinkampani ezine zibambe ilayisensi ye-e-hail: Arro, Curb, Via kunye WAAVE.
Sikubonile ukunyuka kwevolumu yohambo kwii-Ubers kunye neeLyfts, kwaye sele iyiminyaka emibini ngoku bobabini [beqale] ukunikezela ngamaxabiso angaphambili… kuyinyani ukuba uhambo lwabo lunyukile, uMeera Joshi, umkhomishina we-TLC , uxelele uMqwalaseli ngoMvulo emva kwemini. Kunzima ukuqikelela ukuba oku kuya kuba nawuphi umphumo kumthamo wohambo, ngandlela thile, kuba ifika kwindlela abantu abalisebenzisa ngayo eli thuba, nendlela abalithengisa ngayo.
Umgaqo omtsha, watsho, uza kunika ii-teksi iiapps ukuba zenze okufanayo.
Isibonelelo semali lukhetho olunomtsalane kubakhweli, uqhubeke uJoshi. Ke iinkampani zeapp ezisebenza kwiiteksi, yindlela yokufumana abakhweli abatsha kwaye ezisa ishishini elitsha kumzi mveliso weeteksi. Abaqhubi, ibanika enye inketho kubathengi.
UJoshi uthi abaqhubi bayalwamkela uluvo olunikiweyo lokuba ishishini leeteksi liphulukene nohambo kwaye livakalelwa kukuba lisengxakini kuba amanye amacandelo anganikezela ngeenkonzo ngendlela engenako.
Ikhomishini iya kujonga ukuba iyanceda na umqhubi okanye inkampani yeapp, ifuthe lezemali nokuba ingaba iyakwonyusa isiseko sabakhweli okanye hayi.
Inkqubo yokulinga ayisayi kusebenza kwizichotho zasesitalatweni-ukubiza iikhabhathi ngendlela yesiko-eziya kuthi zilinganiswe kwaye ziqhubeke zilandela iirhafu zeteksi zokuhamba.
Abakhweli abasebenzisa iapp ukucela uhambo lwezithuthi bahlala benikwa intlawulo ngaphambi kokuba bangene kwisithuthi, utshilo umkhomishina. Itekhnoloji ye-App ivumela abagibeli ukuba bathelekise ngokulula amaxabiso phakathi kweenkampani kwaye baqinisekiswe ngemali engaphambili.
Kwakukho i-128,586 yeeteksi kuhambo ngoFebruwari ngokusebenzisa ii -apps zokukhwela (i-Curb kunye ne-Arro) kunye ne-13,467 yabaqhubi abanelayisensi ekhethekileyo ye-TLC abenza ii-app iihambo ngelo xesha, ngokutsho kwekhomishini.
UMichael Woloz, isithethi sika-Arro, uxelele uMbonisi ukuba isindululo sisikhokelo esihle.
Eli linyathelo elihle kuba ngumthengi, ngumqhubi wepro-pro, utshilo uWoloz. Kufuneka yamkelwe. Yinkqubo yokulinga, ke siza kubona ukuba izinto zihamba njani.
Kodwa uthe i-TLC inokwenza okungaphezulu kakhulu kwinqanaba lokudlala phakathi kweeteksi ezimthubi kunye neeapps ezibaxhasayo kunye neenkampani ezihamba-hamba.
Uye waphawula ukuba kungoku nje kukho i-108,000 yezithuthi zokuqesha ezindleleni, xa kuthelekiswa ne-40,000 ngo-2012. Uthe zininzi kakhulu i-Ubers kunye neLyfts ezikhukula nezidibanisayo ezitalatweni.
Iikhabhi ezimthubi, ucacisile, zenza umndilili wokuhamba nge-27 ngosuku, ngelixa i-Ubers kunye neLyfts zisenza malunga nesihlanu.
Ndicinga ukuba i-TLC inokwenza izinto ezininzi ezichaziweyo, uqhubeke uWoloz. Ndicinga ukuba zikhona ezinye izinto ezinokwenziwa liBhunga lesiXeko kuphela. Yintoni ekufuneka yenzekile-kwaye sele idlulile-kodwa into ekufuneka yenzekile yi-TLC kufuneka isebenze neBhunga lesiXeko kwimigaqo-nkqubo ehlakaniphileyo, enengqondo edibanisa iMidtown ngokumisela inqanaba elifanayo okanye inqanaba eliphuculiweyo lommiselo kwi-Ubers kunye neeLyfts ebezixinene ezitalatweni zethu iminyaka eliqela.
U-Bronx Councilman Ruben Diaz Sr., ongusihlalo weKomiti yeBhunga kwiZithuthi eziQesha ecetywayo efuna iinkonzo zokwabelana ngokukhwela ukuhlawula umrhumo we- $ 2,000 ngesithuthi ngasinye.
Uxelele uMqwalaseli ukuba akakulungelanga ukulinganisa kwisindululo se-TLC.
Nawaphi na amagqabantshintshi aya kuba ngaphambi kwexesha kodwa sijonge phambili ekufundeni isindululo kwaye okubaluleke ngakumbi ukubona isifundo kunye nesicwangciso esiza kuphunyezwa kwaye sivavanywe, utshilo uDiaz Sr kwingxelo. Esi sisitshixo njengoko abaqhubi beenqwelomoya bahlala bemiselwe ngaphandle kwendlela yokuphumelela okanye yokusilela.
UJoshi uqaphele ukuba kwi-2015, iBhunga liqwalasele amanyathelo athile okucothisa ukukhula kweenkonzo ezisekwe kwiimoto ezi-app. Kodwa ulawulo luka-Blasio lwaye lwasigqiba isicwangciso. Ngeli xesha, wathi, zimalunga nama-2 000 iimoto ezazisiza kolu shishino inyanga nenyanga-inqanaba awalitshixanga.
Ngokubhekiselele kwisindululo sikaDiaz Sr., uJoshi waphawula ukubaumrhumo awunakubekwa ngaphandle kokubonisa indlela umrhumo onxulumene ngayo neendleko zelayisensi kwaye uchazwe kwimaliiimfunonjengokufumana imoto kunye nokuvavanywa kweziyobisi.
Umhlali waseBronx, u-Mohammed Ali, oneminyaka engama-49, ebengumqhubi weklabhu etyheli ngaphezulu kweshumi leminyaka. Uxelele uMqwalaseli ukuba ebengayazi loo nto.
Kum, ngayo yonke imbeko, i-TLC ifana nenkundla yekhangaru, utshilo uAli. Zinyanzelisa nawuphina umthetho… ziyinyanzela kubaqhubi. Abakhange benze nasifundo sokwenza nje isampulu zabaqhubi.
Eyona nto ayixhalabeleyo kukuba xa kukho iimeko zohambo ezonyusa intlawulo, abaqhubi baya kunyanzelwa ukuba bathobele imali ebekiweyo-inyathelo athe liza kubatshintsha abaqhubi.
Wayekhe wathatha iqela labahlobo eliya kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo. Ulahle umntu wokuqala kwi-86th Street kunye nePark Avenue eManhattan nge-9 yeedola kwaye umntu wesibini kwisitalato i-45 kunye nePark Avenue malunga ne- $ 14. Indawo yokugqibela yayise-16th Street kunye ne-7 Avenue.
Ngexesha lokufika kwethu, yayiyi- $ 24, $ 25, kwaye wandinika icebo elilungileyo kwaye yayiyi- $ 30, u-Ali uqhubeke. Kwakungathi ndiya eLaGuardia [kwisikhululo senqwelomoya]. [Kodwa ukuba] ikuxelela i-15 leedola, oko kuthetha nokuba ungakanani umgama, ndiza kuhlawula i $ 15. Ngubani olahlekileyo? Umqhubi.
Uthe uyakuyivula le nguqu ukuba abakhweli banokufumana iintloko zokukhwela ukuba imali inokunyuka xa kukho ukugcwala, umzekelo.
U-Ali Najmi, igqwetha elimele abaqhubi beekhabhi, lamkele uluvo ukuba luyanceda abaqhubi ukwenza imali ngakumbi. Kodwa uthe ikhomishini kufuneka ijonge ekumiseleni isiseko sokuhlawula iindleko kunye nemayile eyoyiphu eluhlaza kunye neetyhubhu eziluhlaza njengangoku kubo bonke abaqhubi beapp.
U-Uber akunyanzelekanga ukuba alandele loo mthetho mnye kwaye oko kuyabenzakalisa abaqhubi, utshilo uNajmi. Ke ndicinga ukuba i-TLC kufuneka ijonge kungekuphela eli xabiso lokunyuka -bakwenzayo-kodwa kunye nelinye icala lamaxabiso kwaye inokuba yindawo yokudlala kuwo onke amacandelo.
Umhlali waseBronx uBourema Niambele, uneminyaka engama-55 ubudala — umqhubi weemoto ezimnyama obesebenzela uVia iminyaka emine-uxelele i-Braganca ukuba abaqhubi beetekisi ezityheli basengxakini enkulu ngoku ngenxa yokuqhuma kweenkonzo zetekhnoloji.
Ndicinga ukuba kufuneka ivule ingxoxo phakathi… kwabo [TLC], umnini weapp kunye nomqhubi ukuze baqonde ukuba oku kuyakuphucula njani ishishini leenkampani ezityheli, utshilo uNiambele.
Ubongoze ikhomishini ukuba yenze ibhodi yeengcebiso eyenziwe ngabaqhubi be-TLC, iinkampani ezinje nge-Via, iLyft kunye ne-Uber, kunye nabaqhubi beeklabhu ezimthubi abadibana ne-TLC ubuncinci kanye ngenyanga.
Ukuba ezinye izindululo kufuneka ziza, iinkxalabo zabaqhubi ziya kuva apho, u-Niambele uqhubeke.
I-TLC ixelele uMbonisi ukuba ineentlanganiso zekhomishini zarhoqo ngenyanga apho ive khona kubaqhubi, amaqela abaqhubi, amaqela oshishino kunye namanye amalungu oluntu.
Isithethi sika-Uber sinqabile ukuphawula. ILyft, iVia, iWave kunye neCurb aziphendulanga kwizicelo zokubeka izimvo.
