Taxi drivers are expected to provide a positive environment for their fares. This includes pleasant, casual conversation. Your driver doesn't know you're deeply interested in tech startups like his employer. Almost all taxi conversations are brief, casual, on the surface. If your next taxi driver took an innocent small-talk question as a chance to air his gripes about his new, better employer, how would you feel at the end of the ride? How are you going to rate that driver? 1 star? Oh shit, now he's canned. You're getting the only safe answer to your question. For all you know, the drivers are terrified to speak out.
