A taxicab authority approved by the East Lansing City Council will provide more regulations to taxicab drivers in the city ? but may increase the cost of fares.East Lansing Mayor Nathan Triplett said a taxicab authority would benefit both drivers and riders.ap“Creating the Greater Lansing Taxicab Authority will allow us to have one uniform license, and requirements and regulations of taxicabs,” Triplett said.apThe authority will eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy when licensing taxicabs, Triplett said.apThe plan for taxicab authority was created after officials from Lansing and East Lansing realized the differences of regulations in the neighboring cities.ap“Lansing and East Lansing both have different rules, and at times we reach different conclusions of who should be licensed to drive a cab,” Triplett said.apAlthough regulations might create a safer resource for riders, price increases might affect students.EZ Taxi owner Eric Penrose said a taxicab authority would be helpful, but its implementation will have an impact on riders and drivers.apOne of Penrose’s concerns is regarding the implementation of meters in different taxicabs.ap“The rate is going to be more ? it’s going to affect everybody if you are going to put meters,” Penrose said.apPenrose said that with the meters, drivers would incur more expenses because of the meter maintenance.apBut Triplett said adding meters will help riders identify reliable taxicabs.“The objective is to make sure that we have a pricing system that is fair and transparent to riders,” Triplett said.apNeuroscience sophomore Erica Meissner thinks that the creation of a taxicab authority will benefit students.ap“You can’t go wrong with regulating something that so many students use,” Meissner said.apHowever, Meissner said that the increase in fares would make students opt for other options.ap“I think students will still use it because they kind of have to,” Meissner said.
