Summary
Tory Austin, head of the Bahamas Livery Driver Union, fires back at the taxi cab chief, calling the feud a public relations disaster and insisting his team has made good-faith efforts to collaborate—only to be ignored. He dismisses claims that livery drivers are stealing airport business, noting their tiny fleet (one in every 25 taxis) can’t be the cause of taxi drivers’ struggles. Austin argues the real issue is government-mandated taxi expansion and a tougher market, not livery services. He also points out that luxury livery cars can’t operate profitably on taxi fares, making it financially nonsensical for livery drivers to compete on price. Austin suspects the taxi chief’s complaints are more about appeasing his own members than solving the real problem—and passengers are left stuck in the middle as the standoff drags on.
