The "crux" of your argument against Uber according to you is that is that they need to be held to the same fares as Taxi companies. You continually ignore the point brought up that taxi's are bound by city imposed rates because they are part of the licensing system which stipulates what they can charge. They can easily change this by scrapping the system and coming to the table and allowing the free market to prevail, but they fight this tooth and nail to the utmost detriment of the citizens of Calgary.
Your basically arguing that Uber needs to be on a level playing field as taxi companies, but completely ignoring the fact, that there can never be a level playing field while taxi industry backed licensing system exists.
