Like what?

Not saying Uber is the best system. But outside of a completely public and subsidized system, with huge infrastructure overhauls, what would be the most effective replacement for something like taxis?

Uber is a product of the marketplace. You can't just crush it with legalese and government restrictions, or you're just going against your own point and not allowing the marketplace to compete. The market IS open for something better than Uber or taxis, but nothing has come up.
