A lot of people are defending Uber against taxi, based on the fact that the service is better.

But the important thing to remember is that we were in this situation because the lobbying of Taxi companies was doing the same thing as Uber previously and this is why we are in this situation in the first place.

And compared to its beginning, you can see that the service and prices provided by degraded a lot in last years now that they are in a kind of dominant position!

So, in my opinion, everyone should reprove such a behavior. Ensuring that our leaders can't be corrupted like that by lobbyist is the only way out of problematic situations like that.
