No, let's look at it from a more philosophically objective point of view.
Why do you think that the millions of Londoners who voluntarily chose Uber over traditional taxi services should be denied the freedom to choose what taxi services to use?
- Jommi 7y agoIf tfl sees Uber not operating by the same standards as others do, then of course they should be punished. Londoners are ofcourse free to use any other other app based ridehailing companies that so comply with tfls regulations.
- lidHanteyk 7y agoFor the same reason that they should be denied e.g. the freedom to choose to take loads of cheap antibiotics. Sometimes there are bigger network effects that, despite appearing good for every individual, actually turn out to be a collective bad. Why do you think that "socialist hell-hole" is an appropriate description of HN? Because you don't get to spout your capitalist talking points unchallenged?
