How forcing them to add a fare meter is a sensible regulation? You already can track the whole travel in Uber and it is FAR FAR better than having a fare meter.

In a foreign city I have no idea if the itinerary chosen by the driver is sensible or not and the fare meter for sure can't do anything in this regard.
- vmateixeira 10y agoBecause you can fiscalize a fare meter, not someone's phone GPS tracker module.
- rmc 10y agoThe meter is supposed to be inspectable to the local tax collectors who can ensure that the correct tax is paid.
- stagbeetle 10y agoThe incenvives are too screwed up for this to help consumers. If they undercharge, they get fined. If they overcharge, the tax authority gets more money. It's almost like a bribe.
