“ Has centralised quality control for taxi drivers worked somewhere?”
From what I hear.... London !

Here in New York we don't have the same kind of unusual taxicabs, but we do strictly regulate taxi and Uber drivers.
I personally find taxis here insufferable. I live in Queens and regularly had to help them "remember" where Queens is. Or remember the TLC regulations about accepting a credit card.
I've not had the same song and dance with Uber.
If this is the quality that the regulations enforce, count me out.
