Doubt it. Eventually, even in the US, they will adopt the New York model - require TLC licensed drivers, cars, etc. but not medallions. Basically black/limo car

Doubt it. Eventually, even in the US, they will adopt the New York model - require TLC licensed drivers, cars, etc. but not medallions. Basically black/limo cars. That's the way it should be IMO, I don't think Uber should have full discretion in deciding who gets to pick up passengers. The ratings system is really a small part of Uber and can't be relied upon to filter out bad/dangerous drivers.
- threeseed 12y agoSorry I should have clarified: UberX is the problem. It is already being banned in more and more countries as governments come to terms with the regulatory changes required. And whilst Uber is popular in the US outside it still isn't a well known brand and what they do know is the questionable behaviour of its management team (there have been media reports). So I don't see them disrupting taxi services around the world to the same extent as the US.
