Correct me if I'm wrong but Mexico City is not in Canada.

His point is that unregulated taxis are scary.
Right. And the attitude that results in a taxi passenger bill of rights (http://www.taxirights.gov.bc.ca/) is what makes Canada so clearly not Mexico City.
People who have read the Reglamento de Transporte del Distrito Federal would be astonished to learn that a taxi passenger bill of rights makes the difference between Mexico City and Canada.

Especially astonished would be those who've read Chapter 5 Articles 33 and 34.

"the attitude that results in a taxi passenger bill of rights"

Those extra words do actually make quite a difference in what was meant. I was unclear in another way though, it's the attitude that results in both the laws being written and the laws being effectively enforced. That is an important part of the equation.
