Or the stress of driving a taxi drives people insane.

Or those who drive a taxi have initially few percent of insane, and those who can’t stand it just leave. My experience (15 years everyday local taxi user) is that good people didn’t last long until uberlikes rushed into town and made it a “still hard but now regular” job with rules and feedback, for both drivers and clients. Before that, taxi was a grey market filled with pathetic excuse of a thug trying to expel the weak, do some easy money and tell their story. Not a single regret about these times and these imbeciles.
