Shady if true, but at the end of the day all I care about is access to transportation.

The taxi cartel sucks not because they are a cartel, but because they artificially create demand by throttling supply.

Here, Uber is just trying to get other drivers from other outfits...it doesn't reduce the number of drivers on the street, just who they work for.
