As to the quality of drivers, I have no reason to believe Uber/Lyft drivers are worse than taxis. Chicago taxis drive like lunatics, but this hasn't been so much my experience with Uber/Lyft drivers, who seem to be a cross-section of Chicago drivers. And I don't know that the populace has been meaningfully "unsuspecting". So all in all, this seems like a net positive--one less thing for the government to spend money regulating in the long run and a better system for everyone else (probably the former caused the latter, but anyway...).
