What laws and regulations is Uber breaking?
The problem isn't Uber, it's the laws.
What's going on is Uber decided that because it doesn't like laws regulating taxis, it should be allowed to just ignore them.
Legitimate in what sense? Uber has been extensively breaking the law for pretty much its entire existence, no?
That is Uber's secret sauce - they defeat regulation better than anyone
or better3) uber is a taxi company and should follow the same laws and regulations as other taxi companies. Which would of course destroy uber's business model which is based on dodging the law, sorry, "disruption".
Uber should have to follow the same laws that other taxi companies have to. I don't agree with the monopoly systems that are in place for taxis in most cities those should be removed. But at the same time many of these laws are so that taxis are available not just in the peak period but other times as well. So laws that force taxi companies to have part of the fleet available at all times should be also be enforced on uber and other such companies as well.
What is Uber doing that you consider illegal?
Because Uber pushes out transportation providers who do follow the rules. Hence, regulation required.
Didn't Uber start off by breaking laws just about everywhere it operated by being an unlicensed taxi service?
