26. I realize that.
However, other than civil rights issues they generally stay out of the issues of what calls one should and shouldn't take, because it's a liability if they restrict the right to turn down a fare and somebody gets hurt. Any business owner has the right to reject business and there has to be a legitimate government interest to interfere. As neither dog owners and people who lack the sensitivity to stick their bottle of wine in a suitcase before getting a cab in an area where most cabbies are muslim are not protected classes, there's not much they can or should do. In any case, if muslim cabbies are turning down fares right and left either they'll see they're missing out and stop or others will take up the slack.
