So, Uber is giving you the taxi cab service you always wanted? That's great, and that's why they should be regulated as such.


One could make the argument that regulation got regular cabs to the position they're in today, and applying that to Uber would ruin the service. A functioning system would have been more resistant to disruption. Perhaps the regulations cabs already have aren't enforceable?


Do you have specific area in mind within the EU where the statement "regulation got regular cabs to the position" is based on?
