SUBJECT: Santa Monica Cab Company--Request for a Rate Increase
At tonight's meeting a hearing (Item 4B) is scheduled on the above. Mr. Davis,
President, Santa Monica Cab Company, has submitted a letter, dated Septem-
ber 26, 1973, to each of you outlining the reasons for his request.
Attached hereto is a schedule of taxicab rates row in effect in various cities
together with the requested increase for Santa Monica, as well as one for the
City of Los Angeles that is to be considered by the Los Angeles City Council
tomorrow.
From the schedules shown it appears that the basic mile rate is as follows:
Beverly Hills $1. 00 (1-1/5 mile)
Culver City $1. 10
Inglewood $1. 10 (1-1/30 mile)
- Los Angeles (Yellow Cab) $1. 00 (1-17/60 mile)
Santa Monica $l. 00
Santa Monica (requested) $1.30 (1-1/7 mile)
Los Angeles City (requested) $1. 10
I would like to point out that the requested rate would increase the fare for
" the first mile about thirty (30) cents. In addition thereto Mr. Davis is request-
ing alive meter; that is, each time traffic moves at less than seven or eight
miles per hour an additional charge of lOF per minute would accrue.
If the request (rate hike plus live meter) is granted Santa Monica would have
the higlhest far1e in the area.
