They are limousine service because the law defines them that way, it's circular logic. And the regulations on limousines exist to keep the taxi monopoly running.
These regulations are not commandments from God, they can be changed. And it's not immoral to try and change them. The current rules are terrible for consumers.
- madiator 10y agoI agree. These laws are not set in stone. Times change, and so the regulations need to change. The government must do what is good for the people, and in this case, it may be letting Uber run (or may be not).
- RodericDay 10y ago"This zoning is residential because the law defines it that way" is only "circular" if you dismiss all the history that led to that classification in the first place. The idea that literally all zoning and transport regulation came as a result of the hotel/taxi lobby is ridiculous.
- wvenable 10y ago"The idea that literally all..." is a straw man. Nobody has said that here. But if they did, I agree it would be ridiculous.
