Dude. I owned and drove cabs for many years. Medallions and licensing started in NY after the taxi wars. Regardless they were restrictive laws and rules (including pricing) that Taxis MUST follow or risk fines and closure while Uber got to do literally whatever it wanted however it wanted, and the law enforcers profited by pay offs while the people suffered because as soon as the cabs folded the Uber rates went up and the money rather than staying locally went to silicon valley California.

False. Uber paid off those in charge and the laws governing cabs such as medallion rates and licensing was not enforced on Uber. They ignored the laws and therefore operated at cut rates while cabs HAD to charge a fixed rate by LAW.

Most HAD another line of work, they worked for or legally owned cabs and Uber was allowed to ignore the laws the cabs were still restrained under.

Drivers are operating at a loss the depreciation on the vehicles doesn't even keep up with the low rates after Ubers gigantic cut. It's unsustainable and takes advantage of desperate people out of work.

Not a fan of this idea, we will all be automated out of jobs like this.
