Most transporters like cabs do not use such barriers because most use their own cars.

I would think being a cab driver is likely one of the most dangerous jobs--isolated, cash, someone could do a lot of damage and get away with it.....wouldn't be my idea of a great job....professor

I have heard of Cabbies carrying baseball bats underneath their car seats...crowbars or whatever to defend themselves...
The good part of a cashless society...cash is pretty non-existent due to the debit/credit machines...so I think the cab drivers are not a good target these days...
Since COVID...many barriers were put up to protect against the spread...some haven't bothered to remove them...

Correct. A couple days ago I outsmarted 3 guys with some kind of plan and the masked jerk behind me was the fasted to get out of my cab. I have no weapons/bats or knives in my cab. The mastermind and only person talking never even complained as he left. All I know is he wanted me to drive them down the highway so he could get his bank card so he could pay for the cab. A barrier would be nice.

Hello Mr Bjeans
I once had to take a cab in NY city in the afternoon, it's been the spookiest experience i ever had. My driver was a HUGE guy from Jamaïca .... he was massive and impressive but cool, knew a few words of french and i could speak creole, so it all ended in a big laugh ! Good memories

My second odd experience in a taxi was not in North America but in Tunisia, where i had to accompany a good friend of mine just for 3 days. It's been extremely risky and dangerous as the driver's attitude was obviously problematical ... to say the least ! uh oh
