Not sure who you're addressing, DM but I have no intention of and haven't proposed asking any dispatcher for a fare increase, whether restricted to PUC or otherwise. My only proposal as far as an increase goes is that NTA should give us a pro rata increase. I'm going to study the taxi cost index to see if there's anything of relevance in that before contacting NTA, probably.
A 25% fare increase would, IMO, serve to reduce demand BS. That's not necessarily a bad thing as Free Now are blue in the face telling us they can't cover their work. As the increase would be directed at relevant fares it stands to reason that a lot of those clients will snail hail instead of eHailing.. they might even hold out for a car that accepts cards, who knows?
