No doubt, many taxi drivers have been getting screwed over by the current and pre-ride-sharing state of the industry. I'm a big believer in incentives and how they influence behavior. For better or worse, ride sharing systems have put drivers in a situation where they have to provide amazing customer service, and due to supply pressures, the price has been falling to levels that make it difficult to make a living. Before ride-sharing came along, cities had set the rates to protect customers from being gouged. I think they can safely remove the ceiling now. They may have to set a minimum per-mile rate to protect drivers now (if they aren't doing already doing so).
