No, they operate right under the nose of cops in the downtown core without being ticketed for unlicensed cab operation. They pick up college kids from bars and nightclubs at last call while cops walk foot patrols right past them. Usually they drive unmarked minivans.
See it all the time.
Most people don't realize if the unlicensed cabbie gets in an accident resulting in injury, the passenger is screwed. In a licensed cab, the driver/cab company carries liability insurance in case of accident and injury. Not so with these 'speedy cabs'.
