Bad for tourists. Philadelphia taxi operators are planning a 48 hour strike to protest the installation of GPS and credit card machines with their brethren in New York City. The Philly cab's have had the devices for a while and there are some problems being ironed out, but ultimately it should provide faster more convenient service to the consumer.
On my way into the office this morning a little after 0600, I only saw one cab, normally I see more than that.
I will be going out for coffee in a little bit, let's see if the taxi's are out there or not.
If they do go out on strike, or whatever its called, at least it will be safer to drive and walk the streets of Philadelphia albeit for a short time,
