What they are looking for
is filling a quota and keeping illegal taxis at bay but they go WAY
overboard in doing so... just as the FAA does in trying to fence
non commercial pilots from doing air taxi dutys...

The quota part makes sense -- but who cares about "illegal" taxi cabs?
What constitutes an "illegal" cab?

Oh, wait, I know -- someone who isn't beholden to pay the gummint a
cut, right?
