Description
The San Francisco taxi driver is going extinct. And it seems nothing cab companies try is enough to survive the competition of app-based ride hailing services like Uber and Lyft. The recent suicide of a driver in New York highlights the emotional toll of the economic hardship pressuring cab drivers. We explore how taxi companies and their drivers are coping in the birthplace of Uber and Lyft.
