I hope it's due to actual competition instead of crony taxi companies legislating them away and protecting their racket.

How is it unfair that they have found a cheaper business model? The laws regarding taxis are stupid, that is in no way Ubers fault.

Thanks for this, I have thought this for a long time and the hate for Taxi drivers tends to make it not possible to really express without getting a lot of negative replies. Sure the Taxi industry is hopelessly corrupt however Uber's business model is based solely around avoiding the fees Taxi drivers have to pay.

So while I agree Taxis are a racket as another poster said, Uber just get away with flouting the rules, now they are trying to avoid treating their own drivers well, not a shock for a company that is based on cheating the system.
