I have the right to offer you transport service using my car, and you have the right to accept, but I also have the right to refuse you service just as you have the right to refuse to accept service.

That's not the way it works in the taxi world. Cab-drivers are (in most cases) obligated to offer a ride to anyone that asks, as a condition of their license.

I once saw a doorman at a hotel in Chicago get into a fist-fight with a cabbie who tried to reject one couple because they weren't traveling far enough, but expected to keep his place in line at the cabstand.

Personally, I think that anyone owning and operating a business (inlcluding a taxi) should have the right to refuse service to anyone. If they don't want to make the money, someone else will.
