Sorry, my back is always up a bit more than most as I know some Indian cab drivers in the city and they're treated like absolute scum on a very regular basis. One of the uglier sides of our city (and I'm imagining most North American cities) but people just don't see the insane levels of racism and disdain for "brown" drivers because most don't know those people beyond the service industry.
Even one incident a year would be too much for a driver, but they often experience four to five a week from entitled, racist Calgarians, and unfortunately the terrible taxi industry tends to facilitate our citizens to let out their inner racist thoughts towards "those people".

So it's because we're racist, not because their service has completely sucked balls for at least 20 years. Gotcha.
