Assisting the transition to electric vehicles is a good idea and other countries have done so as it is good for the environment. The initiative should be good for taxi drivers but it sounds to me that it is not. There are many issues that we must examine and Mr. Cooley is right that it is an advisory committee. Any time that I hear of an advisory committee on anything, I know that it is a sop. An advisory committee helps to get some information across but is not action-oriented or about deliverables. The taxi organisations talk about the problem among themselves but they have no way of making it happen.
