I get that. The issue is that the city has had a decade or more to deal with the taxi crisis in this city, and they failed. Utterly. The reforms they made were too little, too late, and pretty much anyone in Calgary who has ever tried to get a taxi on a busy weekend and had to wait for hours, or simply give up, will welcome any alternative at this point. Public opinion on the issue hardened against the taxi commission and the city years ago. They can regulate what they want, but any politician supporting the status quo will be off side with citizens.
