I am no fan of the quality of DC cabs either, but when the average driver makes less than $35000 a year (according to salary.com), works 12 hour shifts, gets no benefits because they are independents, or even if they work for a cab company are considered 1099's (meaning they also have to pay both the employee AND employer portions of Social Security and medicare) its kind of unrealistic to expect first class taxis. Meanwhile the drivers can't get higher rates approved for themselves, but Uber shows up and wants the right to charge whatever fare the company wants to charge.
