St. Louis Taxi Company Rejects Masked Or Vaccinated Passengers

[THE_DEVIL]

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -- A new policy required by a St. Louis-area transportation company is garnering strong opinions both within the community and online. Charlie Bullington owns Yo Transportation services, a business he started 16 years ago. Recently, he has made it a requirement that he will only transport passengers who aren’t wearing masks and have not gotten the vaccine. “We don’t allow any type of masks in our vehicles, the second one is we are very against the vaccine and don’t allow people in our vehicle that did get the vaccine,” Bullington said. Bullington said he verifies his passengers have not been vaccinated and won’t be wearing a mask before he even picks them up. One man took to Facebook saying he was denied a ride because of his vaccination status. “I understand Missouri is one of the top three states with the lowest vaccination rate, so I am proud of all the Missouri people for standing against this,” Bullington said.

Doesn’t seem like the best business model.

Next week's headline: St. Louis Transportation company closes after all drivers die of COVID, owner baffled.

Unless he has life insurance policies on all of his drivers

Missouri is almost as festering a taint as Florida.

Yeah, I think this is all grandstanding bullsh*t. He can't "verify all his passengers haven't been vaccinated," and even if he could, his business is in the wrong place. St. Louis County is wealthy and educated. He'd have a heck of a time finding customers. He's just trying to get his business some media attention that everyone will forget by next week.

There are still nice parts of Florida where educated people from the northeast and Midwest live

Good to know African Americans aren’t going to be banned from ALL sectors of society.

I think the guy is an idiot but chances are none of his employees die. Saying all his employees die is just foolish.

People still take taxis?

I’ll be happy not to give him my business. Talk about a dumb ass.

If it was just him getting Covid and dying it would t be so bad. The problem is he is actively trying to take other people down with him.

Wow, death rate is 100% now?

Who rides or takes a taxi? That business is dead like people and drivers of taxis who aren't vaxed.
