Big Yellow Taxi

“Where’s my mother?! I can’t see her!” I hysterically shouted to the clueless chinese taxi driver. I tried to comfort both my sisters by gently telling them everything was going to be fine. I clenched my fists as anxiety washed over me. “Don 't worry,” I whispered in a shaky voice “I 'm sure we are almost there.” It was 1:00 am and the outside world was dark and blinded by fog. After driving through a dark alleyway the taxi came to a halt. Looking around I saw our hotel; The filthy hotel had…

I did not always want to become a director. But I have always tried to be creative. Growing up in different countries formed my mind so that I tried to look at things from every perspective I could imagine. This imagination brought me to different ideas that I expressed in different ways when I was a kid. I used to be obsessed with stories.

While viewing the video “Uber and the Great Taxicab Collapse”, some conclusions are easily drawn by comparing Uber and Lyft to a Taxi Cab Company. Immediately the regulation placed on the Taxi Cab Company places the business at a serious disadvantage, because it must follow the local and state law to operate the business. Consequently, the Taxi Cab Company has a physical presence and location, while Uber and Lyft do not. In comparison Uber and Lyft are not required to follow the same…

It was 1997(2005) in Ethiopia, and I was about 9 or 10 at time, still naive to the world at large. It began as a typical school day, but then as my classmates and I were on our lunch break, we started to hear a man shout “Taxi, taxi, taxi!” just outside of our school. It seemed peculiar to us as to why that strange man was shouting. To the students and faculty in my school building, this man seemed deranged. One of my friends joked “we should probably go back to class before we end up like this…

Without a doubt, this is one of the utmost electrifying and dominating male characters out in Hollywood who…

Uber isn’t meant to be a career and so it shouldn’t be treated as one. It was simply created to help people with a little extra time make a little extra cash. However, because they have essentially eliminated the career of taxi driving, their is an evident problem. If a normal taxi cab driver switches to Uber they lose their benefits and often times need a newer car to participate. While Uber’s pay per ride is more than fair, in a lot of cities the demand isn’t enough to make it a career job.…
