From what I can tell, cities have largely been able to kick Uber out, if they want to, but many residents are not interested in eating shit from taxi companies for another 10-15 years, so it's been hard to kick them out by appealing to their sympathy for the medalion holders.
- astrodust 10y agoIt's not "sympathy" for medallion holders, but the fact that those holders have considerable political sway. Anything too dramatic, too abrupt will be staunchly opposed. A more gradual phasing out helps to ease the pressure on this system and move to a more market-driven approach.
