Our “Metro” public transit system is out of money and cutting service. People can’t get to their jobs. Simultaneously, unemployed people might be willing to drive people to work for a small fee.
Bevis Schock has a solution: Deregulate the taxi business and let anybody drive anybody anywhere for whatever price the parties can agree on. Not a bad idea in desperate times.

Not a bad idea, but it falls apart when there is a wreck.
ReplyDeleteI would love to drive people to where they need to go, but I don't want to be responsible when some idiot runs over me and injures whoever I am hauling.
