I bet if you asked Corbyn to pump up the cash for Uber's losses over the past few years he'll put his tail between his legs and head for a hasty retreat. Taxi drivers had years to do what uber did. They didn't, they were often horrible - all manner of dirty tricks to keep prices artificially high whilst sneering at customers who didn't go on a long enough journey. You'd book a Minicab and be told they're '2 minutes away' and still find yourself waiting after 30 minutes. Co-operatives can be trusted to look after their own interests - to an extent that might even pass the definition of racketeering. They can't be relied upon to make a compelling proposition to customers. Not saying private companies like uber are the answer either, but it's hard to judge which is worse.
