The cab situation in this city has been a complete disaster for as long as I've been old enough to drink. That's about 17 years that I've been counting. It just blows my mind that for so long, and with the amount of drinking and driving media coverage, that this is still so pathetically ridiculous.
I heard an interview on QR a few weeks ago with an alderman, and he said that he's "never had a problem getting a cab". Yeah f'n right. Apparently he's never gone anywhere on a friday or saturday night. I've waited on hold for over an hour just to get through, and then been told that the ETA was another hour.
It seems like such an obvious thing to fix. Just fix it! Hand out more licenses, and let the market figure it out.
