Does it make sense that a taxi license is worth $500,000? To me that means the protectionism put in place allows excess profits for someone. Probably not the driver, they get screwed over by the license owner.

A taxi driver used to have to know all the streets and was expected to navigate a quick route from memory, that's no longer needed as Waze can do a better job 90% of the time.

I've been in a lot of ****ty taxis, I've never been in a ****ty Uber car.

The taxi cartel did this to themselves, and I suspect the drivers are better off.
