San Francisco's taxi industry has been steadily losing business to new app-based ride service companies like Uber and Lyft and is now losing drivers as well. Many of the cab drivers in the city who do have permits to drive are not using them, while driver applications are growing steadily at ride service companies. The SFMTA will soon launch an ad campaign in partnership with Flywheel urging customers to "hail a real taxi driver." [SF Examiner]
