Uber is backed by big money which wants to go public asap and cash out. Uber and cab companies are “ride sharing”. Both get requests for rides, both put the request out to drivers, both allow drivers to accept or reject the call. While the taxi drivers must have many more credentials, I think the SIMPLE SOLUTION IS TO ALLOW THE TAXI COMPANIES TO OPERATE UNDER THE SAME REGULATIONS AS UBER! Uber and taxi drivers can pay the city tax for a medallion – and all can charge WHATEVER they want for fairs. Cab drivers should not have to undergo drug tests, CPR training, ETC!
