Its the failure to properly regulate an industry.
Uber doesn't have the opportunity to fight the establishment if the establishment served its consumers.
So regardless of why people like Uber (and in the long run road worthiness of vehicles and types of drivers end up being the same as cabs) it is a complete red herring.
Its real simple:
People want a ride in a reasonable time
People can't get that from a cab
10 years pass.
An alternative appears.
It has nothing to do with race, quality, even cost though people may site those of reasons to choose uber over a taxi when both are available but really the only deciding factor on people using uber right now is availability. ( Calgary Only)
If the regulation was fixed and there were surge cabs available to meet demand no one would back uber entering the market. So it isn't about race, bottled water, cost, gum, odor, conversation or vehicle quality.
Its about getting into a vehicle and getting to or from where you are going.

Yeah, so if it was purely just about a convenient ride, then people would want the regulation. Except Uber doesn't do regulation because it would price them out.
