It doesn’t take a PhD to figure out that uber’s service is a taxicab operation.
It simply is and masquerading it behind fancy words won’t change the fact.
The uber “sharing” operation is an app-dispatched taxicab service that evades taxicab municipal payments and local dues by claiming to be a “technology” company
Yet – a taxicab operation is exactly what they are.
In fact, app-dispatched taxicab services existed long before uber was even conceived. But those “suckers” didn’t lie – they paid their fares and dues
as laws and regulations require.
It’s is here that uber had to obfuscate truth and invent new “innovative” words to grow and pave its way to billions.
And the word was invented – they called it “ride-sharing”.
The only so-called “innovation” in so-called ride-“sharing” (where no ride
is factually shared, it’s a 100% misdirection) is not in the app (those existed
even before uber), and not in the technology (again, applications of it
existed for years) but in blatant refusal to comply to laws and regulations.
Why? Because “ride-sharing”, of course.
And confused, those who questioned it remained…
Fair to the existing small transportation businesses? Nope. Not really.
In fact, not fair at all.
And that’s exactly the reason that uber has been banned in many counties
including France, Germany, Russia, Korea, Israel and the list is growing.
Naturally, uber claims not to be banned but they are.
They are forced to comply with existing law and regulatory framework
and work with existing taxicabs thus running a fully legit taxicab business.
That is an Ok way to operate. No problem. But that is NOT the way uber operates in states.
Somehow US lawmakers and regulators are behind the curve on this
one. Perhaps they are still hypnotized by this intentionally-mystifying
almost-magical word -“ride-sharing”…..
Wow, hard to believe that Mississippi is not interested in progress. Fits in well with their history. Funny, I think MS is the only state that can boast more unpaved roads than paved, so hopefully the Uber cars are AWD vehicles. The state seems to be clearly entrenching themselves on the wrong side of history once more. If they do get fees from Uber I suggest they be used for education. That way “fellers” like James will be able to construct a grammatically correct reply to articles with which he takes issue

This is an app-dispatched taxicab operation.
There are rules.
Follow them. It’s that simple.

A simple exchange of certain amount of money for a satisfactory service is a concept far too complex for the big-government types among us.
