The response I have heard from a couple taxi drivers is that the cab shortage in this city really isn't as bad as it seems. Taxi companies intentionally create the impression of a taxi shortage so that the city authorizes more cars and the companies in turn collect more licensing fees from the drivers.
I do not know if this is accurate or not, and I am not even sure how the business works in this city- This might be the same story every taxi driver gives throughout NA...
Does the city actually need the authorize the number of taxis a company can have? I use a cab a handful of times a year and not sure how this process works.
