While taxis are our traditional fiend I do agree with the position of the drivers. Taxis are part of the public transit system and are regulated. Uber and others undermine the foundation of that pillar by exploiting "loopholes" in the regulation. This can lead to not just a collapse of the traditional pillar but also lead to wild uncontrolled (and unregulated) taxi-like services exploting the financial benefits (profit) without the obligations--- and without legal limits on their numbers. Its a bit like letting loose large numbers of hyenas to combat a few city rats.
Reads a bit like an argument for central planning vs the free market economy.

And just a minute ago I got an email from Uber saying this.
"Which is why today, on top of our existing options of uberX, EXEC and LUX cars in London, we're opening up the Uber platform to London's Black Cabs, bringing one more safe and reliable option to London riders, in the form of UberTAXI."
Me too. I wonder if this guy will be at the protest.

Velocio nerged form being a killjoy.
Serious note for those who have padded out the last two pages and not defending Jeez in any way as he is quite annoying online although very pleasant in real life, but if anyone other than him had raised the concern would they have received the same response?
Eg: if raised by me in connection with the current Stonewall campaign?
