Except regulations have little to nothing to do with the level of service that was suggested in that post. Markets decide what is good and what isn't.

Otherwise the current city regulations have failed epically at providing the necessary service that taxis should be providing and instead their ridiculous protectionism has paved the way for ineptitude at every level.
