I never knew that. Does not make sense to me, but interesting what does it matter what company picks up a fair in Kearny, How many cab companies operate in Kearny? I only know of Schulyer
I notice different cab companies, but I never gave it a thought . What is the problem with this?

LISTEN IF YOU CALL FROM YOUR HOUSE TO BE PICKED UP THATS OKAY TO A POINT IF THEY GET STOPPED IT CAN GO BOTH WAYS THEY CAN STILL GET A TICKET FOR PICKING UP BEING THEY ARE AN OUT OF TOWN CAB OR YOU HAVE TO SHOW PROOF THAT YOU CALLED ETC..... BUT WHAT THESE DIRTBAGS DO FROM NEWARK IS THAT HANG AROUND KEARNY LOOKING FOR FAIRS TO PICK UP THAT IS THE PROBLEM... SCHUYLER AND HARRISON BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR MANY MANY YEARS THEY DONT STEP ON EACH OTHERS TOES WITH CUSTOMERS THEY EACH HAVE THEIR OWN....
FOR EXAMPLE ITS LIKE KEARNY COPS GOING TO NORTH ARLINGTON RIDING AROUND AND PULLING PEOPLE OVER IN NORTH ARLINGTON ONLY THEY CANT.... SO DO YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND A LITTLE NOW??

I should have clarified my response. In reference to the original complaint, below, the companies you are referring too ( classic, equamerica,gold lincoln) they are not taxi cabs they are considered car services.
Original Complaint:

Town Ordinance 5-70A.4 requires no limousine (car Service) shall provide service from one point in the town to another point in town unless the owner thereof shall first obtained a permit from the town clerk.
Unfortunately 5-70A.8 is the exclusion which states shall not apply to limousine service (car service) which originates in another municipality and terminates in town, or which originates in town and terminates in another municipality, but all such service must be by prearrangement.
KPD traffic investigated this issue several years ago and was advised that per the ordinance we could not enforce this unless we shadow every car service with every pick up and drop off to see if the service is picking up in town and terminating service in town. This is nearly impossible due to based on calls for service and manpower issues. I provided below part of the ordinance but you can go to the town website and view the ordinance in its entirety. Hope this clarifies your complaint and feel free to contact traffic with questions.
