Speaking of gypsy cabs.

In the livery cab softball leagues of Upper Manhattan, players' numbers are often retired.
But unlike the big leagues where great players are honored after long, glorious careers, the tributes for gypsy cab drivers are sudden, unexpected -- and more frequent. They happen every time a driver is murdered while on duty.

I like this part of Uber though and something similar should be in place for cab drivers as well.

Rides can only be requested through the app. And every rider has an Uber account with their personal and payment information—so you always know who you’re picking up ahead of time.
