Not saying I necessary agree with the arguments. That said:
1. Never felt unsafe. Only time I've ever felt unsafe in a cab was mainland China which has less (enforced?) regulation.
3. Never happened to me in SF. Happened in Las Vegas (common thing where cab drivers take I-215 from airport to the Strip rather than surface streets); it's very easy to request a complete refund.
4. Public transit, bike, etc. Ensures that those who are really willing to pay for a cab get there quicker due to lower traffic congestion (theoretically - this probably only applies to areas dominated by cabs like Manhattan).
