Oh I agree....the city's opposition though is seemingly wayyy overboard for a service that operates just fine in hundreds of other jurisdictions.

And the ironic part is that this service is one they created by getting in bed with the taxi cartel. To now hide behind the complete nonsense of a "safety blanket" just looks foolish, because it is.
