>Altho I would not call this a "loophole" as this is the route Uber should have taken from the get go in those places where they don't allow those without Taxi licenses to operate Taxi services. If Uber had done what you think they should have, then they would have never taken off. The difference between an cab and an uber is not yellow paint and a taxi light, or even a harder driving test. It's the absurd regulations around taxis that turned them into a government-sponsored cartel.
