Since most of the Uber drivers are doing this part time, none are going to fork out the cash to comply with the restrictions the city places on this. Uber will be effectively shut down, the taxi monopoly protected and the city can say that they changed the law to allow Uber to operate.

So what's wrong with requiring a class 4 license, vehicle inspections, and appropriate insurance? You seem to think that's to exclusively protect the incumbent taxi companies. I think (hope) it's moreso to protect the consumer.
I'm not anti-Uber. I used them a fair number of times over the past few weeks. But I would like to make sure the vehicles and drivers are appropriately vetted and insured.
