Except it's not really banning a product or a service. Taxis still run in the city and Uber still runs in the city. Uninsured rides for money is what remains banned. The company would have to ensure that Uber drivers have the correct insurance. It's not a p2p lift share scheme, it's a business. In the UK it is illegal for a mini-cab (not the standard black/yellow taxi, hail taxi) to take you without booking. Their insurance only covers pre-booked fares.
