In NY, people use cabs almost like public transit. You can't afford to do that in Toronto. Quote: Toronto taxi fares are among the highest among North American peer cities, according to the Toronto Taxicab Industry Review final report. Quote: The taxi industry says the UberX service, which allows passengers to hire regular drivers using a smartphone app — usually at prices cheaper than a taxi — has caused a dramatic drop in fare revenue. No kidding eh? People got tired of being ripped off?

It's the DISRUPTERS that show just how ridiculous existing systems are and how it can be done in a better way. How do you know DISRUPTERS are working? When the established industry makes a heck of a lot of noise because their system is being disrupted. We're not going to improve society as a whole if we keep trying to bring down the DISRUPTERS. The real problem with cabbies isn't in the pricing they charge, it's the fees they have to pay for the licences, which they pass on to the customers. The whole cab licence system is a big fucking scam! Don't take it out on the cabbies! Take it out on the companies that control the licences. It's a real cash cow for them and they're abusing it! If cabbies are going to compete, this whole licencing system is going to have to be rebuilt from scratch in a way to ensure that no company can monopolize the licences. _________________________ I don't need to use this space to show off my car or my camera gear.
