This is a renewal application for taxicab service for the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Glendale</strong> based 6<br />
0n the public<br />
convenience that has been previously established by the <strong>City</strong>.<br />
Previously the Transportation and Parking Commission established the Need and Necessity for 82<br />
operating taxicab permits in the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong>,<strong>Glendale</strong>.<br />
Presently there are 81 actual permits issued as follows: Checker Cab ~ 8, Tri*<strong>City</strong> Yellow Cab - 17,<br />
<strong>City</strong> Cab - 15, Peoples Taxi - 29 and Bell Cab - 12. G&S Transit Management, dba <strong>City</strong> Cab, is<br />
asking to be reissu ~d 15 permits for th is renewal period.<br />
<strong>City</strong> Cab Company has maintained an on time service ratio <strong>of</strong> 88% (service within 15 minutes) with<br />
111,494 orders served during 200B. For the first six months <strong>of</strong> 2009 the on-time performance has<br />
improved to 91% with 46,960 orders served.<br />
Burbank Bob Hope Airport taxicab business is down more than 20%. Regular taxi business is down<br />
19.93% in <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Glendale</strong> (first six months <strong>of</strong> 2009 compared to first six months <strong>of</strong> 2008) and<br />
more than 20% in Burbank and Pa sadena, also in <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> Los Angeles. Opening <strong>of</strong> "Ame ricana~<br />
department stores and residential complex did not generate additional business for taxicabs as<br />
expected. G&S Transit Management has 15 taxicabs exclusively lice nsed in <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Glendale</strong>.<br />

The transportatlon needs <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Glendale</strong> community are being met in an outstanding manner by<br />
the current fleet <strong>of</strong> taxis. All "special needs· passengers are being serviced by the existing fleet. The<br />
hotels, hospitals and local businesses are being serviced in a very timely and pr<strong>of</strong>essional manner.<br />
The recent addition <strong>of</strong> -taxi sta nds· during the past year has enabled the taxis to stage themselves<br />
through out the community thus providing timely service while not adding to the congestion on the<br />
streets or pollution in the area.<br />
In conclusion, since the current taxis are keeping the transportation needs <strong>of</strong> <strong>Glendale</strong> serviced on<br />
time; in clean vehicles and with pr<strong>of</strong>essional drivers, there is not a need to increase the operating<br />
fleet in <strong>Glendale</strong>. An increase in the operating fleet would only cause the drivers to suffer a<br />
substantial reduction in their incomes without improving the already superior service the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Glendale</strong> is experiencing.<br />
