I personally have no issues with this, obviously Uber needs to think about tweaking their price/demand structure. But guess what if you don't like it take a regular cab, if enough people do that and the traditional taxi biz can provide rides in a timely fashion Uber will adjust. That's what competition is all about, but instead the taxi industry is hell bent on keeping out competition instead of evolving to match it.

The Taxi industry and their city propelled monopoly is the problem. They've had since the 80's to fix it, but instead the problem keeps getting worse. Zero sympathy for these guys. Their response to Uber shows how unwilling they are to actually take a single step towards solving it, and just want to keep the status quo which is not working for anyone.
Insurance is definitely an issue with Uber, but people are so frustrated with the taxi industry in this city they are saying to hell with it. I think people would be more willing to discuss the insurance issue if the taxi industry wasn't simply using it as yet another means to impede new competition.
