SENIOR CITIZEN GIVES FREE CAB RIDES TO NEW YORKERS AND GETS FINED

Featured On: MyFoxNY
Former cabbie Ray Kottner gave people free rides in his taxi, accepting only tips. TLC officials said he was taking money away from legit cab drivers and running an illegal business.
Do you think Kottner should be allowed to continue offering rides without charging set fares?


Way to go New York City!!! This little senior citizen was giving free cab rides in a yellow cab that he owns, and what does the city do? Fine him. Impound his vintage yellow cab. Why? Because he's, "taking money away from legit cab drivers". Yeah right. And Bloomberg's greedy and obscene, "Congestion Pricing" (charging anyone that dares drive in Manhattan $8.00 a day) isn't taking money away from legit drivers? Isn't New York's $6.00 toll for crossing the George Washington Bridge enough? Let's see, if I commute to NYC everyday via the GWB, I could potentially pay $14.00 per day, not including parking, just to have the, "privilege' to drive in NYC? What if I'm commuting from Queens? Let's see, that's $4.50 EACH WAY to cross the Triborough Bridge plus $6.00 for the GWB plus $8.00 in congestion pricing. That's $23.00 EACH DAY not including parking fees. And NYC has to stick their greedy disgusting paws into Mr. Kottner's wallet? WHAT COUNTRY ARE WE LIVING IN?
