Where I am from - Bulgaria, we don't have a limit on taxis AFAIK. They operate on a sort of franchising system - the taxi companies vet drivers and make sure they follow all regulations, in return the driver gets to put the company's logo on their car and gets connected to the company's order system. It's almost exactly like Uber, but with quality control and regulations. Drivers are also not restricted to using only the company's ordering system, there is at least one app that is entirely independent that drivers can opt to use in parallel with their company's system. As long as you use a taxi from a well known established company you can expect a high level of service. On the whole taxis are plentiful and cheap.
