There's other reasons to want that. Congestion control is one of them. No comment on the validity of such a fear, though
- _delirium 12y agoI believe that's historically what caused the first introduction of such a system, in London some centuries ago: residents complained there were too many hackney carriages driving around the streets, and wanted them limited to a fixed number. (They also wanted them better maintained and more safely driven, which led to additional rules.)
