New Orleans is in a boom and they want to go back to their petty politics instead of bringing competition in to make the place better. I find that Uber is usually a bit more but I will pay for the better quality. Maybe they should do something about their cab service that is so shitty people will pay these prices.

Taxi cab reform has been a hot issue here. I got into it with one driver not long ago. I kind of saw his point but at the same time I told him the cabs suck here. The fact he told me his cc machine didn't work as soon as I got in the cab won me the argument.
I would never use a taxi that cost $25. My rides average $13. $25 cab rides would increase the number of drunk drivers.

This isn't just New Orleans being New Orleans, as some like to point out. There are many "advanced" cities fighting Uber as well. This is politicians being politicians, and as of now, their money doesn't come from Uber, it comes from long entrenched cab companies. So while it may be a catharsis to say New Orleans is somehow special in how fricking dumb their government is, unfortunately that isn't true
I really despise politicians, and if you don't, you're a moron.
