I have been stuck at the airport late at night for over an hour trying cab after cab, with little kids and lots of baggage, and no cabs could take me because of lack of basic safety features like the ability or knowledge of how to install car seats in their vehicles. Language barriers did not help. Old rear wheel drive sedans in winter. No "latch" system for car seats, no set belts with locking feature for car seats. The only new cabs are used priuses that can't fit a family with no luggage let alone a few bags, bought to save the cab drivers gas money while none of those saving are passed on to the poor passengers who have to squeeze into the Prius.  Yellow and Orange paint can't hide that fact that most cabs have been bought out of the junk yard. End the cab cartel and allow Uber. And the assembly members who constantly protect this group like Dick Traini should be voted out.
