This week on The Daily Beat: Uber vs. Yellow Cabs: Which is truly more economically viable for NYC?

Today on the Daily Beat, Wednesday July 29, 2015: We got to hear the perspective of a veteran yellow cab driver in NYC, Javaid Tariq. Tariq has been a cabbie for 21 years and is part of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance.

Yellow cab drivers are committed, full-time employees watching their only source of income dwindle in the face of a ruthless digital newcomer.
