As much as I hate the serfitude economy companies, the fact that the cab companies have not adopted the app approach <i>boggles my mind</i>.<p>I would have <i>zero</i> problem calling a cab, even with the regulated cab prices, if they had a Lyft&#x2F;Uber-like app.  Hit the button, accepted in 60 seconds, tracked to your door.  The fact that the cab companies <i>simply won&#x27;t do this</i> grinds my gears.<p>This is also why Lyft&#x2F;Uber grind my gears.  <i>JUST BE A COMPETENT CAB COMPANY</i> and people would love you.  Uber&#x2F;Lyft doesn&#x27;t have to flout the existing laws while lobbying to get them changed.
