I think everyone would be on the cities side if they ended the cartel on the dispatch systems and ended the cartel of licences.
It doesn't have to be uber. It doesn't have to be ride share. There just needs to be a sufficient number of vehicles. This is where the city has failed. Independent of uber the city has not solved the problem and denies there is a problem.
It shouldn't take a private company breaking the law to enact change to something that is clearly broken. The city has failed to serve its citizens in regards to the taxi industry. Whether or not uber has proper insurance is a red herring to the real issue of why hasn't the cab cartel been broken.
