The taxi industry is not the same thing as taxi drivers. The taxi industry is dominated by the people who own taxi medallions, not the people who drive taxis. The people who actually drive taxis are oppressed by the idiotic inefficiencies of the current regulatory system, much like Uber is. For instance, cabbies. can't charge more when it's raining. Or snowing. Or if you've asked for an especially undesirable location.
