I haven't been following this so I'm not sure where I fall on the issues.
City committee supports some taxi regulation changes, defers others | Toronto Star
I think I have an issue with giving the taxi driver the ability to charge $25 upfront if they think the customer looks shady. So hard to tell from the way people look if they are shady right?

Here are a few of the recommendations:
All new licenses issued by the city will “require a wheelchair accessible vehicle.”
Accessible cabs will ensure service in the same amount of time as someone who doesn’t need an accessible car.
Council endorse the goal that six per cent of the total fleet (approximately 290 cars) be wheelchair accessible.
Council issue 290 new taxicab licenses for those accessible vehicles.
Allow all approved alternative fuel or hybrid vehicles to be used for taxicabs.
Allow cab drivers to issue a $25 “vomit fee.”
Initiate a study to determine the impact of mandating shields.
Allow drivers to demand payment up front to a maximum of $25
Amend the “passenger bill of rights” to the “taxicab bill of rights” that would include both passengers and drivers.
Current fare rates be maintained and be reviewed every two years.
