Lost in all this Uber nonsense is that the city has made the single biggest change in the livery bylaw in decades. Had this not been an Uber thing(and to their credit, they are the reason for this change) we would be hailing the city for finally doing something to release the stupid plate limit and allow the free market to decide how many vehicles are necessary for the city. Make not mistake, this is a HUGE change, and we will see benefits. I don't expect prices to come down, as the current rates seam to be the cost of doing business. But someone is going to enter the market, though it may be after our economy picks up and demand returns.
