If protection from passengers was a primary concern minicab drivers
would buy them too.

Minicab drivers in London are expressly forbidden from driving TX
taxis.

And in some other parts of the country too, including Cambridge these days.
At one time the only London-type cabs in use here were as hire cars.

Many places ban hire cars from having meters too. Cambridge is an exception
so we don't have a problem with high hire car fares that have happened
elsewhere.
