Péladeau may have eye on Téo Taxi
Pierre Karl Péladeau is said to be thinking about buying Téo Taxi – but he wants changes in industry rules first.

Gosh, that’s a hard one. Do I hate PKP or Uber more?

Wow, what a cocktail. Two parts mixed blessing, one part cognitive dissonance, shake with bittersweets, stir with a double-edged sword, and blend with crushed optimism. Serve at a table that is so close and yet so far.

Yeah, Blork. Love your posts.

I bet PKP wants to outfit the cabs with video screens so that he can force feed clients Quebecor media while they ride. sorta like a clockwork Orange on wheels. 😛

@Uatu: Téo taxis kinda already had the Quebecor media screens, though. I mean, they showed some Téo stuff and maybe other ads, but I definitely remember there being some Quebecor influence the last time I actually paid attention to one of the screens (the novelty wore off somewhere shortly after the first trip).

First time I took a Téo I was kind of appalled by the promotional screen on the back of the passenger seat, which I couldn’t turn off. Later it was either removed or always off, I imagine after complaints.
Would people accept to watch commercials in exchange for a cheaper or free ride?

Of course most would. They accept free email for ads, they accept loyalty cards for cheaper goods, etc., etc.
