That's just a guess, but maybe good lawyers combined with slow bureaucratic processes?

  I'm sure. And I'm not saying that the taxi companies are 100% in the right, but there's a question of balance - fair competition versus the careers/families that would lose out. There are better, more ethical ways to do something.

    Yeah that's true. It's a bit like Industrial Revolution, when workers were breaking and burning machines. Progress has a cost, and it's not completely morally right in this case. But drivers, companies and governments are picking the wrong fight. Even if they shut down Uber, there will be more similar companies which will find loopholes and etc. It's better to spend the energy, time and money on making cabs more attractive and competitive. Because like I've said in other comment, cabs haven't changed in the last decades, while everything else around us has changed a lot in the last decade alone. Less than 10 years ago, a cellphone playing MP3 was omg.
