There is a flipside however, for those who think deregulation is the answer.
In Amsterdam, the taxi market has been completely deregulated. You do not want to get a taxi there unless you order it from a trusted source, and even then it's ridiculously expensive.
And you don't want to try to disrupt that market unless you have good organized crime connections...
