I don't disagree with many of the points argued in this article (and the subsequent two articles). An interesting piece of anecdotal evidence, I recently had a conversation with a Yellow Cab (or similar) driver in NYC who switched back to a cab from Uber. He pays, if I recall correctly, $900 per week to the taxi company and after that is able to keep all wages and tips. His $900 is owed regardless of the amount of fares he receives. Despite this, he still felt this was a better deal than Uber after doing both. So it doesn't appear that the cab cartel is some sort of myth, as the author seems to imply.
