It may not get any easier to catch a taxi cab in St. Louis...but a bill sponsored by Senator David Klarich from Clayton may make dealing with taxi cabs easier. Senator Klarich's bill establishes a taxi cab commission for the entire metro area that will help make rates and quality more consistent. Klarich says the bill will benefit both St. Louisans and tourists.
The taxicab commission would include 5 city representatives appointed by the mayor...and 5 county representatives appointed by the county executive.
