The Company has also requested assistance in obtaining financial relief from the effects of declining ridership and rising fuel costs. Fort Worth Cab and Baggage showed a loss of $7,960.53 for its year ending January 31, 1975, and a deficit of $25,716.35 for the 6 months period ending August 31, 1975. The Company is continuing a loss in passengers and trips which amounts to about 10.5 per cent annually. The decline in ridership has been brought about by several factors. Improved bus service, including free bus service downtown, has had some impact. Other competition has come from service operated on a contractual basis to trans- port welfare recipients by a carrier, Transportation Enterprise, which is subsidized through grant monies administered through the local Fort Worth Council of the Churches. The single most important factor affecting the financial condition of the cab company, however, is the cost of' gasoline. Company records show the cost of gasoline in the period from January 1, 1974, to September 11, 1975, went from 26.1c per gallon to 46. 6c per gallon or an increase of 78 per cent. The Company has requested two means to assist them in relieving their financial problems. The first request is to eliminate the street rental payment. The second request would be for permission to apply a gas surcharge on a cost pass- through basis per trip to the passengers in proportion to increased costs for gasoline each month. This is equivalent to an automatic fare increase corres- ponding to increased gasoline prices. The staff recommends disapproval of the request for a pass-through and automatic fare increases based on gasoline price increased due to the resultant loss of control over fares. Relief from the requirement that the company pay 1 per cent of their gross receipts to the City of Fort Worth would cost the City approximately $12,000 in revenue per year. Fort Worth Cab and Baggage pays approximately $9,000 per year, while another $3,000 is generated by the United Cab Company. The Fort Worth Cab and Baggage Company's present contract was entered into in March of 1965, and in Ordinance No. 5343, one of its provisions required a street rental payment of 3 per cent. This was complied with by both companies until 1972, when they began experiencing financial difficulties, at which time the City Council reduced the gross receipt payments from 3 per cent to 1 per cent. Staff has met with representatives from the Company to discuss alternatives for paying for the increased price of fuel. It was reluctantly determined that immediate relief could be obtained from an increase in fares. Longer term assistance is being considered through the use of Federal transit funds , if such can be made legally available. DATE REFERENCE SUBJECT: Ordinance Amendm._.it for Fort PAGE NUMBER Worth Cab and Baggage Company 2 2 11/10/75 G-2877 of It was determined that assistance to the Company would be to allow the Company an increase in the initial basic charge for service, adding that amount to each trip. This appears to be the most feasible means of providing rate and revenue relief while at the same time minimizing the hardship on users of taxicabs. The steps through which the taxi meters are now geared operate in 1/6th mile incremental units, and the next step would be to go either to 1/7th mile or 1/8th mile units. If the "flag drop" or initial step itself is permitted to be increased, this would require no additional major meter-part change-out, and the taxi meters and fleet would not have to be reinspected and recertified by the City. For the year ending June 30, 1975, 344,753 passenger trips were made, a decrease of 10.54 per cent from the previous year. Assuming that this trend will continue at the same rate and with an estimated 15 per cent loss of ridership due to higher fares, the annual passenger trips would be adjusted to 329,000 (a decrease of 25.5 per cent) . With an increase of 15c, the amount generated would be approximately $48,000. Out of these additional proceeds the drivers; who work on a 42 per cent commission, would receive some $20,000 and the Company would retain approximately $28,000. The current charge for taxi service is 75C for the first 1/6 mile and 10c thereafter. A 15c increase for the first 1/6 mile is proposed, with no charge in the rate for the subsequent 1/6 mile increments. In addition, a maximum annual payment of $1,000 for each taxicab company for a street rental fee would be desirable over complete elimination of the fee. If taxi business improves, examination of maximum limitation may be possible at some future time. Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council extend the Fort Worth Cab and Baggage • franchise permitted by City Ordinance No. 5343 from January 1, 1976, to December 31, 1985. It is also recommended that the Council approve an increase in the basic drop fee from 75c to 90c and the establishment of a maximum payment of $1,000 for each taxicab company the street rental fee, retaining the 1 per cent street tax now levied.
