Even after the city government gave out FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS to taxi drivers (as a bribe basically) in order to upgrade their cars... they threatened a march in Mexico City.... Worst thing is... They aren’t enough... so they’re bringing in taxi drivers from the neighboring state... they admit to this themselves.
The march, as any taxi march of late, is againts Uber and the lot.
The transit police is really worried about it because it’s kind of going to grid the city to a stand still.

I think the worst part is that they won’t really get anything.. the government gave them 15 million to shut up; I don’t think they’ll move an inch from that position

I’m pretty sure the cab drivers in my area will be on their regular routine of not knowing how to get around the city but also not using GPS, not showing up at the scheduled time if you call ahead , taking an hour if you don’t schedule, not taking credit cards, costing as much as cabs in much more expensive cities with much higher salaries .... But the cabs here are at least clean .

My taxi drivers are okay.
We have different types of taxis and cabs with different regulations.
All taxis and cabs must be clean at all times, you can be written up, warned and/or fined for an excessively dirty vehicle (as they get an allowance each week to keep their cars clean), in winters months or the tempe rature drops below a certain level then some restrictions are lifted for the exterior but the inter must still be clean.
Hackney Carriages, black taxis can pick up from anywhere and can be waved down,
Radio taxis , white cabs are saloon cars that can only pick up pre-booked fares from arranged locations and taxi ranks.
Other cabs can only pick up pre-booked jobs.
Drivers cab be reported for not getting out the car to assist if luggage/shopping bags are present, the passenger is old or infirm.
Drivers are to take the shortest route unless there is an obstacle and take the next quickest route.
Cars must be inspected every six months, three-four months if it’s a disability access vehicle.

Sometimes the driver may ask if you have a preferred route as the shortest route may not be the fastest route so you may sit in traffic or take the faster route that is longer.
Because the meter is attached to the odometer and a clock it’s up to you whether you may the extra on the odometer to get there quicker or risk the shorter route and sit in any traffic that will cost extra.
Alternatively, because it’s quite a historic area, you can ask for a taxi and get a tour as you go from one place to another.
You can even arrange stops for food or picture taking if you request when booking and pre-arrange a fee in advance and the driver will leave the meter off.
If you feel you aren’t paying the right amount you can request it be looked into.

I know you’re much further north, but London Ubers are the worst I’ve seem as far as driving goes. They drive like New York cabbies. I almost got run over by one outsode of Paddington Station. The regular London taxis are the best in the world.

I’ve never used Uber* to go anywhere, I’d rather use tried, tested and trusted taxis (no stupid demand price hike and all that).
*though I used Ubereats for the first time ever yesterday to have a McDonalds delivered to try the service out of curiousity. Much more expensive delivery, and you are made to feel obliged to tip when you rate the service and driver, which I don't feel I have to, but do with other takeaways.

The taxi company closed down because the owner just died. Their fleet was about 15 cabs. The city is all UBER no w. Which is fine, the fleet of aging crown vics was getting sad.

I’d rather the Crown Vics than the Grand Caravans they also ran at one point. At least the Crown Vics were only sad, rather than scary...
