No Excuses with Fernando Mateo

Fernando Matteo interviews former New York City Taxi and Limousine Commissioner David Do to reflect on his four-year tenure and the evolving state of the industry. The conversation centers on Do’s efforts to provide financial relief for medallion owners through debt restructuring and his push for the Green Rides Initiative, which mandates a transition to electric vehicles for ride-share giants like Uber and Lyft. While Matteo commends Do’s accessibility to individual drivers, he challenges the former commissioner on persistent issues such as the high cost of insurance fraud, the dominance of leasing companies over individual plates, and the need for better service for vulnerable populations relying on government-funded transportation.
