Really that's a turf war between Uber and Lyft. There is pretty clearly a market at the cost of a cab to run a dispatch and network of drivers profitably.

It's no different right now then any loss leader / market buying activity. The current price is not sustainable but there is a market.

The best news is that plate owners don't get to be rent seekers taxing everyone.
