I am happy Uber has decided to just go ahead and start while the city drags their feet. Ultimately puts the power in the hands of consumers - if it's successful it will force the city to actually do something about it, like in Toronto.

I rarely get worked up about politics but this just really GMGs and ultimately it's because I've had so many bad taxi experiences (or lack of taxi experiences when I need one). If the "regulations protecting consumers" actually worked, I wouldn't care nearly as much but it's mostly just a bunch of BS to protect non-competitive industry interests, IMO. Feel kind of pissed at city council about this and in particularly Nenshi should step up, if he's as progressive as he seems to think.
