Hah, nice one, Jayswin. I get and support why anyone would hate the taxi cartels. Nevermind that Uber's end goal is to end up being a far more powerful and dominant monopoly then any regional cab company could ever hope to be. The end game with Uber is always the same. Artificially lower transport rates and drive down the price of labour to take advantage of the excess supply of personal vehicles. Clever. Maybe not sustainable. Not to say we don't need to clean up the livery industry in some major ways. I just don't believe Uber is that solution.
Never mind that most people in this thread keep blending bad taxi cartel criticism with semi-racist hints of " I don't like how people from another country smell."
As well, given the near constant level of abuse that many drivers face from their inebriated, entitled customers it is a small wonder that a lot of drivers are a bit stand-offish.
