D.C. cracks down on illegal cab company

Published January 24, 2012 5:00am ET



The DC Taxicab Commission on Tuesday shut down a cab company it said was operating illegally, in the first such action taken by the commission in years.

As first reported by The Washington Examiner, the commission ordered the Anacostia Cab Association to cease operations, forcing its cabbies to black out the company logos on the company’s 26 cars, to stop operating as taxis, and to hand over their licenses or have their vehicles impounded.
