why bother with license for taxis ? the market will decide by very easy way - the people won't get into a taxi company that tries to rip them off or if the driver doesnt know where to go 
if the taxi will deliver its service , the people will use it - it doesnt matter if its "licensed" or not. what metters for customer is service - getting from point A to B by the fastest/ cheapest way. |
I agree, what I'm getting at (again, just here in the UK) is the fact that the gov't stipulate one set of rules for black taxis and minicabs (hackney carriage licence needed by law) and don't put any restrictions on uber. I honestly couldn't give a fuck personally, adapt or die applies everywhere, so why not just go get a gig at uber - but the point is, you can certainly understand why the drivers here are pissed off. Which is the point of the thread, not whether uber is good or not - tubes and torrents are 'good', but when YOU have to adhere to one set of laws, and those sites don't, is that a 'free market'? I know you have more sense than that mate
Also as an aside, seems like we have it pretty good here as far as taxis/minicabs, been using them for years and never had the problems other posters seem to have had in other countries.
