SFO Taxi Pick-ups Pick Up

Taxi pick-ups at San Francisco International Airport showed a modest increase during the first nine months of 2004 compared to 2003. But the numbers are still far below where they were five years ago.
Statistics provided by SFO’s Landside Operations show that the number of pick-ups increased each month from February through September. The total for the first nine months of the year was up eight percent, to 800,712.
But compared to the first nine months of 2000, pick-ups were down by 37 percent. The 470,070 fewer pick-ups represent at least $12 million in lost driver income. That works out to more than $2,000 per driver over the nine-month period — without taking into account lost trips to the airport.
In other words, things are not quite as bad as they were — but still quite bad nonetheless.
