This is just the process of NYC trying to drive Uber and Lyft out of the city and to force them to be expensive and bad like the taxis that existed before them.

After a few years when they get bad enough they can start to blame the poor quality on "private corporations" and people will eat it up. Then they'll outright ban them and they'll be back to taxis.

Put me in the screencap, because this is how NYC rolls.

If people consume it privately, regulate it until it's so unusable that the government version is adopted.
