I wonder if in a society such as yours, where this is all more common.

Could you have taxi companies that take a small fee up front to guarantee you a rapid taxi to hospital when the time comes. I'll assume ambulances are fine for accidents and emergencies. A regular taxi (and the wait) is fine for unexpected trips where you are unable to cycle for some reason.

But a reasonable fee to say, I want a "rapid" taxi for this instance.

I think that "reasonable fee" would be a quite high one. You're basically asking someone to be available 24/7 for a specified period of time. And besides, depending on where the person is when you call them it might actually be quicker to just call a cab.
