Capital Cab Cooperative AS
ISOLATION. Mr.. Spencer said
the association is composed of
1000 independent owner
drivers.
The association also told the
subcommittee it favors reten-
ton of group riding and an in
crease in minimum liability
insurance coverage from SIS, 000-
$4,000 to 100000 $40, 900. as
required for private motorists.
Cost Of Meters Cited
| Mr.. Spencer said his associa-
ton was against meters be-
cause the drivers felt they
would be costly to install and
maintain and would result in
fares much higher than those
under the present zone system.
He pointed out that with the
use of meters, drivers probably
would be required to take the
shortest route between where
the fare was picked up and the
passengers destination.
The shortest route isn't
necessarily the quickest route, +"
Mr.. Spencer said. 1T is often
better to use a route such as
Rock Greek Park or the Suit
land parkway. This would not
be possible under regulation
requiring the driver to take the
shortest route"
Numbering Plan Offered
Representative league, Dem
ocrat Of Texas, subcommittee
chairman. and Representative
Multer, Democrat of New York,
indicated they would like to see
a better system Of identifying
taxicabS in the interests of bet
ter protection for the public.
Mr.. Multer said he thought it
would be good idea that each
cab carry a number assigned
by either the Public Utilities
Commission, police or the traf-
f1c and vehicles department.
Instead of having three or
