Original Toronto Star caption: Hailing a cab is becoming more difficult. But more and more drivers are believed to be playing the streets rather than answering phone orders. One driver says there are too many brokerage firms - dispatching agencies - covering too large an area for the number of cars they have; and many drivers prefer to ignore the phone.
