A proposed 40-zone system
for taxi fares would create
more inequities for the cab
passenger than the present 23-
zone system, the Public Utilities
Commission was told yesterday
Z The claim was made by 1r-
Wing Schlaifer, an Independent
taxi driver, who launched an
attack on the plan advanced by
a group of 10 cab companies.
They represent about AZ per
cent Of the taxis licensed in the
District.
Mr.. Schlaifer contended that
certain trips only a few blocks
long would cost a three-zone
fare. For a single passenger
this would be one dollar.
Under cross-examination by
Charles ]. Pilzer, attorney for
the accompany group, Mr..
Schlaifer conceded that no
fixed zone boundary system
could avoid such problems.
However, he claimed that "the
inequities are smaller in num-
Der" under the present zone
system than they would be
under the 40-zone system be-
cause the number of boundary
lines are greater.
He offered a plan for a uni
form circular system rejected
by the PUG. January, 1853.
Instead of fixed boundaries, his
system would require fares to
be computed by measuring the
airline distance from the start
of the trip to the end.
Mr.. Schlaifer conceded that
the system would create in
equities for the driver in the
case of a trip from Fort Nc
