That’s it, really, that’s all they are: and yet airport authorities are arresting people for doing this? We could of course take them seriously, at their word, that this is all about safety, but why bother to do that when we can look at the larger picture? Which is that every taxi company and commission in the country has been desperately searching for a reason not to allow these services to operate. Even when they do allow it, it’s only after 18 months or so of procrastination.”
