Kansas City Airport Taxi Plan Gets Mixed Review
Aviation Director Mark VanLoh proposed letting private business oversee the more than 400 taxis that line up for fares at Kansas City International Airport.
Those drivers, many of whom spend hours at the dispatch center to get one or two customers a day, said being stationed at a center away from the airport terminals is a disadvantage.
They complained that limo drivers, who are permitted to wait near the terminals, often lure customers away.
On Wednesday afternoon, as passengers got off a Midwest Airlines flight, one traveler began to phone for a taxi when a limo driver parked on the median outside the gate flagged him down. VanLoh said such soliciting is illegal and would be curbed once more traffic control officers were hired.
A cabdriver and a taxi company operator talk about proposed changes at the airport.
