You haven't been ripped off by an unlicensed cab before, have you? The licensed cabs operate in a manner that will at least keep them from having their medallion taken away. Unlicensed cabs have nothing to fear.
- mseebach 14y agoNo. I don't ride in unlicensed cabs. That doesn't keep me from wanting significantly less regulation. I have been ripped off by licensed ones, though - twice, I think. Both cases involved foreign counties and drivers who conveniently and suddenly lost their command of English.
- tghw 14y agoLike I said, being ripped off by licensed cabs isn't an argument for less regulation. It's an argument for something else, possibly more regulation. Show me that cabs don't need licensing and regulation using unlicensed cabs as an example, and you'll have an argument.
- mseebach 14y agoUhm, I wasn't giving a counter argument. I was replying to your question. What you want to do with that is up to you. Any demonstration in the vein you propose will rely on a measure of caveat emptor. I would guess I am willing to accept a greater degree of this (trading strict consumer protection for better competition leading to better service and lower prices) than you seem to be.
