re: Uber making plans to enter the New Orleans market

I've used uber in both San Fran and in Los Angeles right now. When a driver rating drops below 4.6 (5 point scale) they can no longer drive for uber. The drivers rate their customers and can refuse to pick up riders with low scores. Cars are clean and have to be less than 7 years old. No cash is exchanged (paypal and credit card) and no tip is expected. An enjoyable, hassle-free, relatively inexpensive mode of travel. As expected, taxi unions are battling uber legally.
I don't know for a fact about the ranking system but I believe it and all of the rest is 100% true.

This seems like a good service and obviously it's getting big, but I definitely can see why independent cabbies and companies would be upset. In what way is this different from cabs and other car services and why should people be able to ignore established regulations to operate that type of business?

I have also heard that the Unions are going nuts on this in their efforts to keep customers in 15 year old nasty vehicles with non English speaking drivers. Does anyone know a recent status on that? How dare someone attempt to allow free enterprise to rule the marketplace.
