If the taxi industry wanted to be taken as a professional driving service, they would act like it and enforce standards among their drivers.

That means:
- No longhauling
- Actually know where you're going (know major destinations and have a GPS). For what they charge, they should not be asking their fare which roads to take
- Bathe, once or twice a month is not acceptable
- Going along with above, a gallon of cologne is not bathing
- Don't have a cab that smells. For what they charge, they should not expect people to put up with stale cigarette smells, driver odor and various other things
- Accept EVERY ride. Doesn't matter if its 5 minutes or 50 minutes, down the block or from the airport to Legacy
- Alberta has distracted driving legislation, follow it.
- If you're on a timed pickup, it doesn't mean show up 15 minutes early and ring the doorbell and get upset when I'm not ready.

If none of this happened, people wouldn't be embracing Uber as much.
