As long as the taxi industry continues to tank itself by not allowing new licenses and the city stays behind it to the point that it's a safety issue for people getting home on weekends, no, I have no problem with it. No more than I had a problem with Napster bullying a music industry built on overcharging consumers and underpaying artists. Or Netflix for steering into the skid of online streaming rather than joining a useless fight to stop downloading.
These industries are evolving at a ripping pace with advent of the internet and smartphones/apps. Don't have a lot of sympathy for outdated industries trying to squeeze markets and governments.
