They do regulate. Uber/Lyft flout the regulations...

[incongruity]

Minimally in comparison to taxis - and some regulations are obeyed. A good example is the airport agreements in Chicago.

[xigency]

Well, Chicago is the city that works. But Uber is a bigger gang than the mob. Should that scare us?

Really, things seem less corrupt now than they did with Daley so maybe there aren't big payoffs by taxis, just laziness from them and the police.
