Kids on Cabs

Always wanted to know what those beeping computer things in the front of the cab are for, but afraid to ask? Well fear no more, cause some kids from Alpha Alternative School have found the answer to that, and many other Toronto taxi-related questions. Their interview with a representative from Co-op Cabs leaves me with two questions though:

1. Regarding the justification for not having the safety shield between the front and back seats, since when does having cars that "look nice" with a "friendly atmosphere" overrule the fact that taxi drivers are stabbed, shot and killed in our city every year? and

2. Why didn't I get to go to an elementary school as cool as this one?
