That sounds more like a problem with your city and less like a problem with taxis in general.

And honestly, that sounds like it could have a theoretically straightforward solution:

Either tie taxis to the transit network, optionally with an app, or create an Uber-esque app specifically for legitimate, professional taxis. And in either case, optimise these services for the end-user experience.
