Taxi's in Dallas - Use Em!
Submitted by topnotchtaxi on Mon, 02/22/2010 - 19:38.
After the disasters of the Laura Miller Administration, how is Dallas to recover it's image as A Major Player in the Convention Business?
In case everyone forgot, before 9/11/2001 Dallas WAS A Major Convention City [in the Top 10 in the USA]!
What happened and HOW DO WE GET THAT BACK?
What is Dallas doing to remedy this situation?
As a taxicab driver, I'd sure like to see Dallas succeed in the Convention business again without all the preferential treatment accommodated the shared-ride shuttles and limos/town car services at a lot of the Major Hotels in Dallas. In my industry we depend on visitors and conventions, because most people here seem to have no need for us because they have their own car or SUV, and/or don't want to spend money on a taxi when they can drive themselves, even AFTER they have been drinking!
Wake Up And Smell The Coffee:
In order for Dallas to be recognized as a Major Convention City, Dallas Needs Taxis!
There are roughly 2000 cabs registered in Dallas, and we are GREATLY under utilized!
Welcome to the 21st Century!
Welcome to THE BIG CITY!
There are taxis here!
If more citizens of Dallas used taxis, we might just have better service than we do now ... we depend on you [the general public, too]!
There has to be a need ... we need more tourists also! The whole city benefits from more tourists!

That's easy.
Clean up the downtown area.. turn it into disney land. Clean up the parks. Make it nice enough that people don't have to worry about thier safety as they tool around downtown. Add more attractions and mom and pop stores. Dallas had a great nightlife that rivaled Austin's. We were plastic and they were wierd.
Renovate or destroy the old municipal building on mainstreet or at least let it serve as a historical site. Send all court cases to the new courthouse so that the riffraff trying to prove their innocence are out of site.
Deep Ellum is looking better now that they have some patrol out there. Thanks to Obama, more money is being sent to local governments to cover their deficits and to hire more officers and teachers.
