Bostonian here. Literally the only thing most cities need to do to get taxi service as good as Uber is to stop hard capping taxi numbers, or at least stop selling perpetual, tradable licenses and replace them with annual auctions. Uber might be greedy rent-seeking assholes, but they're far nicer than, say, Eddie Tuntunjian.
