I own a cab company. I actually have no problem with competition from anyone (there are 10 cab companies in my city) as long as we play by the same set of rules. Uber and Lyft do not. They do not have to have the same permits and stickers and insurance limits and drug & background checks (all of which i pay for) as a standard taxi does, yet they are allowed to do the same business. If they abolish all the standards for taxis or make Uber pay the same fees then I’m fine with them. To allow one company to essentially “cheat” is not fair business practice and I will do anything I can to see them abolished or play by the same rules.
