That sounds great in theory, but I don't see how it could ever be possible. The taxi industry is huge and mostly run by criminals. There's a lot of people to lose.

I stopped to pick up an 80 year hitchhiking old grandmother for free, who was with 2 very young grandchildren in one freezing cold winter morning when I was stopped by 3 taxi rank cars. They took my wallet that had about R720.00 in it and demanded more. Even if I paid them, they refused the old lady and her grandchildren to go with me. I went to a police station to open a case and the officers told me I was wrong to pick up people in a taxi route and refused to open a case. I called the Santago office and I was told the same thing and even warned to never pick up anyone in the future no matter how desperate they looked.

Taxi owners do not consider themselves business men or women. If they did that would entail formalizing and legitimizing their business (Admin, tax, standards, reporting bad driving, fines for non compliance) and actually competing and offering their customers a great service like any other business. Instead what you have are mobs masquerading as entrepreneurs. These are the kinds of people who hold back the countries development. "A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation." - Gustavo Petro

They should have adapted their model when they realized customers want convenience. Their current system is inconvenient. Customers want to get to places quicker and get dropped off at exact locations. Instead of changing their system to cater to that they resort to criminality.
