The proliferation wont be as fast as last time, but the customers are there, so the drivers will come. I bet the many of the drivers will actually be cabbies that don't own their own plate, and drive a car in the hours the plate holder doesn't want to drive it.
That's the other half of the screw job of the plate system. The drivers that drive cars with plates they don't own. They're paying a percentage to the plate holder. Just like Uber. But with Uber, they can drive as much as they want, and don't have to take the crap hours that the plate holder is willing to share.
I do feel bad for the (you could call it) small business owners that bought expensive plates, that will now be worth a lot less, but that's a few people, while the whole city was getting shafted for 20 years by the big cab company lobby.
Welcome back, Uber!
