Shouldn't cities cancel medallion systems if they are allowing Uber and Lyft to operate?

They should be refunding those ridiculously priced medallions if they are going to let Uber and Lyft operate in their towns.  They cost like $250,000 to $1,000,000, I heard. I feel horrible for the taxi companies who paid those prices.

    Thanks for the response.  So we are saying that the taxi companies came up with this scam to create fake value and the cities went in on it. 

    Just great.

      Since it isn't official yet, it's interesting to think what happens when it is official.  Will the city have to buy them back.  that'd be hilarious.

    Hey, you didn't answer whether the medallion fees should be cancelled!   i'd say, yes!  Damn hypocrites.
