Knoxville PD Cite Uber Driver for 5 Offenses in 1 Night

"Ride share", taxi, all the same in my opinion. Your paying someone else to drive you as round.

Protected and served citizens from that uber driver.. and extracted money out of him, as well.

I'm probably in the heavy minority as someone against Uber who has absolutely no stake in the taxi industry. Using the "rideshare" loophole is bullshite, rideshare should only be applicable to cases where the driver is ending at the same destination. The taxi industry needs to make significant improvements, but eventually forcing taxis out of business and totally deregulating this type of service is a dangerous road to go down.

Why is Uber operating in a town where it is illigal. Seem stupid on their part? I would get full buy in from the Knsville city council before setting up the Uber network in that area.
