I don't understand why they don't just replace the Uber vehicle with a "normal" driver then draw conclusions from that. How much worse do they make traffic compared to a "replacement driver"?

Everybody knows Malta, Cyprus, US Virgin Islands, etc. are tax havens/tax evasion shelters, it is very surprising that this is surprising.
