What the license means
City franchise is not a slogan
To run a taxi in Fort Smith, the company needs a license from the city. The cars get inspected. Every driver passes a police background check and carries a permit.
Rideshare drivers do not have to do any of that. When you ride with us at 2 a.m., both the car and the driver were checked by the city, not by an app.
