Airport sedan contract Wayne County's specifications for exclusive sedan service at Metro Airport had the effect of eliminating every company except Metro Cars Inc., the only bid received. We think we have competition here. The current contract with Metro Cars, which has had a monopoly on curbside sedan service at Metro Airport for a decade, expired Jan. 1. The county notified other companies of the open contract, and some attended a prebid meeting. County Commissioner Susan Hubbard is troubled by the lack of bidders and the lack of competition for luxury-car service at the airport.
Competition is healthy for the economy and seems to benefit the consumer.
Commissioner John Sullivan agreed. Other airports welcome competition for luxury-car service. Worth International Airport allows sedans to compete next to stretch limousines for riders. It works for everyone except the greedy. We play by the rules.
