At least when it comes to a cab, there's a reasonable chance that it might be part of a small fleet (i.e. someone operating four or five cabs under a larger banner), with someone who has some idea that things have to be checked, or, as indicated in the original post, that a "professional driver" might be more likely to pay attention to these things. Besides, at least in some jurisdiction, taxis are subject to regular inspections. Back in the day, the best comparison I could come up with would be taxi drivers to pizza delivery drivers, since there was no Uber then. The pizza drivers weren't subject to inspections, and you'd be more likely to find a younger person, or a part timer, with less resources to keep maintenance up.
