Most Anchorage taxicab permits were purchased for pennies on the dollar
Most of the Anchorage permits were purchased before 1994 before the Anchorage Taxicab Permit Association was able to convince the Anchorage Assembly to limit the amount of permits which skyrocketed their permits to 140,000 from actual price of less than $1,000 the price of Anchorage Taxi Permit before 1994. Another note most Anchorage permit owner did not actually obtain their permits by buying instead most inherited them or was given to them as gifts. They also purchased at a reasonable rate. Remember these permits are not really owned by the permit owner they are actually owned by the municipality.
Anchorage Assembly has allowed Uber Alaska to come into taxi market
Anchorage Assembly has allowed Uber Alaska on Tuesday, November 18th, 2014 at a vote of 8-3 to come into the Anchorage taxi market. Before this illegal cease and desist order can be lifted. They have sign a method of understanding with transportation inspector and city attorney. You need to make sure no one from the Anchorage Taxicab Permit Association is there. Remember this group wants to keep the quality of taxis down since they want to defend their no valued taxi permits that do not belong to them. Remember that competition makes an industry better.
