Taxi laws and regulations exist to protect the consumer, because we all know taxi companies won't if given the choice. And that is the point here - which some of you guys are inadvertently arguing for me - Uber cannot be viable unless they benefit from an uneven playing field.

And don't sit here and pretend that you wouldn't be all over a taxi driver who tried to charge someone nearly $1200 for the same scenario.
