We are pleased to announce that Kingsboro Taxi, has agreed on principle to support Beck Taxi 's proposals during the ongoing 2012 Taxicab Industry Review. Larry Labovitch, the owner of Kingsboro Taxi, has personally made his intentions known to Gail Souter, the General Manager of Beck Taxi.
Just before the Christmas holidays, the Taxi Drivers' Coalition, identified certain businesses and individuals within the Toronto taxi community and approached them, to support the Beck Taxi proposals for reform. Kingsboro Taxi, is the first to respond to the initiative and we are confident it will not be the last.
In fact, Kingsboro Taxi runs a tight ship from the west end of Toronto. There are many friends of ours who operate their businesses under the Kingsboro banner. The TDC highly recommends this company to the taxi community as a great place to work.
We would like to assure the rest of the industry heavyweights we have approached, that we are not going to give up on them. If we do not hear from them within a week we will try again to convince them that following the leadership of Beck Taxi provides us a sure way for everyone to get what they need.
The notion of speaking as an individual or a single group is not as effective as speaking with one voice. We need to simplify this review process by having a 'go to' person who would represent the aspirations of a whole industry. Beck Taxi provides the Toronto taxi establishment that opportunity.
There are those of you who may not completely agree with the proposals put forward by Beck Taxi, this is understandable. The best way to make the proposals stronger is to become part of the dialogue. We are hoping, bearing in mind that there are no work stoppages on the part of our city employees, that when the review officially commences this year,the taxi industry will speak with a united purpose.
