Although I didn't say it explicitly, I wanted to show that any implementation of such "rights" can only lead to injustice and corruption. By the way, sorry for the delay in posting your comment. It got marked as spam by the wordpress software. Twiner,

But there is a big difference between the rules of a private company and the rules of the government. A driver who does not like the rules of a company can always choose to join another company or run by himself. He can't do that here. Yes, cab companies will have their own rules.
