Or the gvt could say (frank) you Uber and keep regulations in place for taxis.

please. that was an industry in dire need of disruption. taxis are disgusting. they (frank)ing reek, the drivers are generally creepy and just going back a year or two there were still taxis in downtown Montreal who couldn't process electronic payments or refused fares if they weren't lucrative enough.

Will they also give money to people who invested in video stores ?

apples vs oranges

it's the government that required drivers to buy those taxi license before. They will have to come up with a plan that compensate the drivers for the cost of their permit properly or it will end up in court and as usual the government will lose.

fully agree the taxi industry needed a major overall, they will need to pay for those who respected the previous license system for the costs incurred.

Yeah, because laws are always a good thing to prevent progress !
- BashCH

Letting a moron assume he's qualified to operate a vehicule driving people from point A to point B is not progress.

Maybe I should show up at the hospital tomorrow and start operating on random people!

To be fair, a lot of taxi drivers took their clients as "hostage", the quality of service sucked/rude and their cars stank, you had no choice.

The obvious solution is to regulate Uber and taxi services as fair competition. Not eliminate either therefore forcing consumers to accept a monopoly and mediocre service.

I think my father still has one in his office somewhere.

You won't be surprised to learn he's retiring in a year or so.
