I think you misinterpreted this article, the author claims that Uber is not violating the spirit of the law, since the spirit of the law is to promote safety, not a government run monopoly.
Given how popular Uber is, and how much people dislike the Taxi industry, it is enlightening to think about why taxi reform was never on anyone's agenda.
- bobbytherobot 10y agoThen Uber disregarded the California Public Utilities Commission law designed purely for safety that does not promote the Taxi industry. It was actually made for the likes of Uber and Lyft to allow them to operate while providing the public with trust that the vehicles are safe, passengers with accessibility needs had access and to thwart racial discrimination. Lyft had no issues with complying, but Uber did. http://www.recode.net/2015/7/15/11614750/uber-fined-7-3-million-for-not-reporting-california-accessibility-data http://www.recode.net/2015/7/15/11614750/uber-fined-7-3-mill...
