Tigerwise, you are terribly misinformed about how Uber actually works. They do not own any cars or directly employ any drivers.


So who owns the cars ?

The main problem I have with these arguments is they are asking for Uber to be as over regulated as the cab companies rather than asking for lessening the regulations for themselves

this guy doesnt even realize that he is basically welcoming uber. if the service is so shitty, why not allow it there?



Yea.

He's basically saying we shouldn't allow Uber in because they will somehow offer terrible service with inferior prices, yet still put everyone else out of business.

This guy is wrong on so many fronts. And he gets a standing ovation. Everything he said is a blatant LIE.

They literally could have more profits but don't want to have the extra competition

The Drivers themselves own the cars. Uber is basically a just a middleman between the customer and the driver.

Again, these drivers are limo drivers already. Some of them may own one car and some may own a fleet.

There is no reason for a limo driver to be anti Uber. The limo drivers can sign up to become Uber drivers. The only service this impacts are the taxi cab companies.

The person driving them. Uber simply screens drivers with a background check, uploads all their personal info, and puts their review history on the app. They are essentially freelance car service drivers, but uber runs the app and takes a little off the top.
