The larger question being, how many people who can't afford a car, can
afford a computer and an internet account?

I love the typo, though: "those in need can contact you if they need a
life."

Um, those who have free email accounts accessible through the free
Internet terminals at L.A. Public Library branches?

I dont think so, besides, you sign up on the board
then the driver has to call  (or email you) to arrange
to pick you up..so its not mintues notice either
.
(I have a request in myself as well)

Yes, you'll certainly reach the MTA ridership that way.  How silly of me.

I also like how when people get caught in their foolishness, they invariably
preface their defense with a snotty "Um,"

Ha ha - surely you jest...!  There is no cabbie mafia, in fact it's
pretty damn hard to even find one that knows LA these days.  I used
to take cabs everywhere and was happy to have taken a car off the
road (not to mention it saved me thousands of bucks a year) but I've
had to go back to driving myself because it's damn near impossible
to depend on getting anywhere on time in a cab any more.

People who take the bus have my sympathy if they're now stuck using
cabs, they'll have to be ready to leave even earlier to be sure they
are not late arriving at their destination...

Sounds like my last trip to Hamburg... never trust a cabbie who can't speak english or german 
for a trip longer then a few blocks.

Would this not place the angels in a lot of risk from:

1) Being atatcked and maybe murdered by union enforcers?
2) Being subject to punative and vindictive harassment by the police, as they are also union 
memnbers, and they have a histroy of brutuality and organized crime behavior?
3) Being subject to regulatory harassment by the PUC and DMV (also because their staff is union)
4) Being attacked by the cabbie mafia?
