Except the taxi cab company has figured out how to offload the purchasing and maintenance of their fleet to their drivers. Probably pay their drivers less, as well.
Really depends on the taxi company. In the small mountain town I went to college in there was a traditional company and a co-op company. The traditional company had better cars, an app, and a nice person on the phone. The co-op had old (but clean) cars, drivers acting as dispatch, and drivers that were actually happy to be there and have conversations.
Only one of those companies had nearly all the same drivers the entire time I was there.

With Uber drivers driving their own cars, how is Uber any different in that regard?
That’s what I’m saying. Uber is the taxi company.
