San Francisco’s transit agency is facing a major budget shortfall. To help raise funds, the agency is proposing to overhaul the system for distributing taxicab medallions. We discuss a new proposal to auction the medallions that’s sparked controversy among drivers and cab companies.

Guests:

Mark Gruberg, cab driver for United Taxicab Workers and Green Cab

Carl Macmurdo, president of the Medallion Holders Association

David Troutman, taxi driver for Yellow Cab
