    You must be young or just ignorant of the history of taxis in general, even in what is apparently your idolizing view of those in western Europe.

    Taxi services are worldwide known to be protectionist, corrupt, and sus. Its why Uber and similar disruptive alternatives were able to grow.

    Uber might be trash, but its just mimicking traditional taxi services by doing whatever it can to squeeze another dollar out by fucking over drivers.
