TORONTO LIMOUSINE LICENSING TICKETING & ABUSE AGAINST TORONTO LIMO DRIVERS IN THIS TIME OF RECESSION
Post Recession period is here, Secondly, Toronto Airport Taxi services, Toronto Airport Limo services as a registered licensed Limousine drivers & Vehicles, Well, You all are to pay a very heavy price in this coming future.
To explain more, Prospective Toronto Limousines license holders should now have to pay a hefty $1000 to get a Toronto city based Limo or Taxi license never mind months of wait and transportation expense when you have to daily visit the licensing office for training. And to add further even once you are successful in getting a limousine or Airport Taxi Toronto license which is not valid for other nearby municipalities (not including GTA cities which is a different debate). So, Surviving with this recession times in our Toronto city is becoming like climbing Mt. K2 (which is considered more difficult than climbing Mt. Everest).
Today if you are successful becoming a Toronto Limousine license holder, basically you have your trouble's started right there as you have started a new chapter experiencing what Toronto limo licensing will do to you in the time ahead. First you will get harassed by MLC's unreasonable checking while wasting your time while your parked anywhere in downtown Toronto desperately waiting for your long time waited fare. Secondly as you are properly licensed with your commercial vehicles you will become a master of getting traffic tickets from Toronto Police.
As rumors take place that commissionaires are out and Toronto Police is in, Well this is a very interesting move by the local authorities as first there are less police officers to work for our great Toronto and now adding more additional burden on them for checking licensing of every taxis and limos lined up in downtown Toronto sounds not only absurd but rather crazy.
The question is who are these lawmakers, what are they thinking when they make decisions and what kind of people are they surrounded with....
Why do we copy New York or American laws so much. TO explain, A medium sized limo car service in NY city has more than 1500 cars, while our biggest Limousine and Toronto Car service company in Canada doesn't exceed more than 150 cars. So, shouldn't we have our by-laws as per our economy which is tiny as compared to US. Maybe I don't make sense but then why do our law makers believe that Toronto is like NY. I think its a different ball game.
Local Laws are designed to improve and assist the system not burden them. So good luck 52 division Police as you will need extra officers to just go after already financially collapsing taxi, limo drivers.
Toronto Hotel limousine business is never secured for independent limo drivers as now YYZ, Pearson Airport Taxi GTAA are authorized to pick up from Toronto hotels or anywhere in Toronto. So, We have all the registered taxis and limos from Pearson allowed to pick up from literally everywhere in downtown and the Toronto city while Pearson Airport has a selective taxi limo companies allowed to reciprocate from Pearson in rush hours which is called Peak period as per GTAA terminology.
I think All the Toronto Limo drivers should create a forum and should group in for an association
All this hardly happens in NYC,
Now the Present situation in our Toronto limo world is that UBER has changed the way Toronto downtown transportation and taxi
business since it was launched. Toronto limousine licensing has also
been changed as per Mr. Mayor Uber Tory..oops sorry our loveable and most respected mayor John Tory...in our limo taxi industry in Toronto. Toronto Municipal Licensing
(MLC), The Value of Limousine plates has also been devalued now for nearly
half the price it was before. Never-mind the Toronto taxi plates which have lost most of its value now. Most of the limousine businesses are
going bankrupt. Toronto to Toronto trips have been wiped out thanks to
Uber X, Customers, Business Executives now are not concerned about
regular cars picking them up. 3 years down the road We Toronto limo
companies are anticipating Self Driving Car Taxis and Self driving Limos
for the next generation which they will open-heartedly accept and
endorse for their convenient way of travel within the city of Toronto.
