So what. The Uber/Lyft business model is a success for the owners/investors of those two companies. Their success has more to do with payoffs and being bought out than anything else. Clearly the minions are not reaping the benefits. Your blanket anecdote is irrelevant
So all of a sudden the taxi game comes down to crack heads vs. the unregulated, unlicensed puritans.
Are you stunned?
