Taxis, if regulated by the city, are effectively a utility provided partially by the city.

Regulation of a private service does not obligate the operators of that service to offer it, unless those regulations specifically require it.

Same with public services, right? Some states prohibit strikes, but as far as I know that just means fining the unions. I'm not aware of any US jurisdiction that compels individuals to perform labor (excepting things like military conscription and community service sentences for crimes).
