I don&#x27;t get this at all.<p>The regulation is to keep &quot;taxis&quot; &quot;safe&quot;? Then if these are inspected and insured vehicles, the drivers have proper drivers&#x27; licenses and passengers are wearing seat belts, then what more can be done to make them &quot;safe&quot;?<p><pre><code> They are calling the growing practice a &quot;clear public safety hazard.&quot; </code></pre> How does reducing the number of vehicles on the road (it&#x27;s basically a carpool) considered a safety hazard?
