Given that, right now, taxi companies do have to do this, and Uber doesn't, I would say no, this is going to affect Uber the same. As it should.

Yep. And a policy that limited maximum driver hours to 20 per week would "apply equally to taxis and Uber," but would clearly hit taxis a lot harder than Uber.

This is protectionism under the guise of "fairness." Nothing more.

I completely disagree. There is nothing unfair about this move. It affects both parties equally.
