If you have company flying into Atlanta for the holidays, they may have a hard time getting a ride to your place.

    Like when using a normal taxi?

      I’m not sure you know how taxis work

        Maybe. Every time I used a taxi it was a random person I gave money when I arrived at the destination.

          There’s still a central dispatching service the vast, vast majority of the time.

            Not to mention the medallion system which has government oversight of drivers.

                Medallions specially are used in several large US cities. Transferable licenses are used in a great many other places. Non-transferable licenses in almost all of the rest of the world. Sanctioned taxis are highly regulated even in places that are otherwise quite dangerous.

          A legal taxi driver, or a clandestine one?

          I understand an argument against middlemen, but your argument ain’t cutting it.
