Is it expensive to get these permits, or is it just a hassle? Serious question.

  Was in San Diego for RubyConf. While there, took 3 Ubers: 1 bad experience, 1 meh, 1 good. Asked good one about issues re airport pickups/dropoffs, which apparently require permit that almost no Uber don't have (and some cab drivers don't have). He explained to me it's only a few hundred dollars, and requires some classes and paperwork. Hardly a crisis of overbearing regulation. My experience with Uber was that it's merely a way for those who want to be cab drivers to bypass the legal requirements to do so, while Uber turns a blind eye to who is really driving their cars.
