I'm not sure what strict regulations cabs have to follow, but for safety I'll take an Uber over a cab any day. The yellow cab industry might be tightly regulat

The yellow cab industry might be tightly regulated, but It doesn't seem to benefit the consumers. Cabs suck, plain and simple. Even the worst uber I've personally had was far better than a cab
In general the yellow cab monopoly got smashed apart with a sledgehammer.
- skewart 6y agoI agree with you about cabs in the US compared to ride hailing apps. But AirBnB is very different, and worse. The hotel industry is nothing like the cab industry. And residential real estate is nothing like roads. Hotels face lots of regulation not only on how they operate (fire safety, egress, food safety, etc) but also where they can operate. AirBnB lets investors get around all these regulations and tap into tourism demand at a much lower cost.
