It's an evolution of the marketplace, and the taxi companies should use the energy they put forward to bitch and moan to innovate and make their service better.
The evolution is largely to do with the cab companies themselves, as middle men, being obsolete. The Apps have replaced the dispatchers. The license holders never actually contributed anything.

The pricing will eventually adjust upwards slightly but still be less than a cab. I'm find with that. The drivers will be making more money, and the customers will be paying less. They'll be no middle men. No profiteers who make money owning a license that was initially issued for free by the city.
