No, he's not the Anthony Noto who's Chief Financial Officer at Twitter. He's a reporter for New York Business Journal. He actually was reporting about a report in the New York Daily News. The big error and misinformation is that across the board, New York City cabbies have lost nine percent of their income to Uber.
The fact is that the taxi business across the board has lost receipts, but there are fewer taxi drivers who are working. Making it simple : If ten taxi drivers in a hundred driver fleet don't show up to work one day and together make 90 percent of what 100 drivers would have made then the individual drivers lost nothing overall.
Some yellow taxi drivers went to Green cabs, and some went to Uber. Some took two weeks off for the summer, went on extended family vacations in their home countries.

Chart illustrates how many Uber cars were working in New York City and how many and how many fares they picked up. With an alleged 20,0000 cars, not 14,000 as reported by Noto, they have 3000 actually working on average.
Summertime is often the slowest time for taxi drivers. Well to do New Yorkers are out of town, if not for the summer at least several weeks and weekends. This summer the strong dollar weakened the tourist trade. Things get back to normal after the Jewish High Holy Days.
Here's a message to the taxi bosses and Arro, the new taxi app. Uber spends millions on promotions and advertising. Just showcasing the new app on Taxi TV will not do the trick. Remember HAILO.
