The answer needs to be looser restriction on taxi licenses, not an app that lets some person who has absolutely zero passenger transport insurance, or requirements for car maintenance drive around picking people up.

I disagree - let comsumers decide on what service they want. It took me 45 minutes to get a cab on Saturday after the game....that's unreal. In San Francisco you wouldn't wait 4 minutes for an Uber.
I would take Uber 10 times out of 10 over a cab in Calgary. At least you know what you're getting when you request an Uber/Lyft. With a cab you have no idea what the driver is like or who he is. With Uber you know because you can check out their information and previous trip ratings to see what they are like. I also love the fact that you can see where they are when they are picking you up so you know exactly when you need to be ready.
Anyway, I think I might be venting after having to wait so long for something that shouldn't be an issue.
