All of you ignoring that it is a profession to be a taxi driver: should we now let anybody (without knowledge) build scyscrapers, or should we now let anybody (without knowledge) perform surgery?

Agreed that there should be some minimum standard of insurance and training... However if you've ridden in any big-city cab you will know that many of the drivers are not professional, good drivers, clean, etc... so by comparison I doubt I'd know any difference.
I stopped using cabs and went to a sedan service here in Chicago to get to the airport. THe cabs were late 30-40% of the time and never called to tell me. When I called they were always "almost there". Often smelled and dirty. I don't want to get on a plane to a customer meeting in an expensive suit and show up smelling like fake coconut.
