In other cities that right is also valuable, and the point isn't its value (that's just a side not to show how restricted it is in some cities), but the restriction, which costs our economy money and makes transport within cities (esp. in the poorer areas of cities) more problematic. That's not some rare scenario, it effects millions of people. Well I was a cabbie in the summers in Chicago MANY MANY moons ago, so I took the test. Most of it was knowing your way around the city, though there was also a criminal background check and basic safety stuff. Now I suppose if you don't mind jumping in a cab where the driver doesn't know how to get where you want to go, is a criminal and knows nothing about safe driving, or all three, then I suppose cab licensing wouldn't be important to you.
