>Because I've ridden in non-regulated gypsy cabs before. The driver was terrible, the cab was in worse shape, and there was absolutely no systemic set of metering, just a negotiation of what the both of us felt was fair after the fact. The whole reason the medallion system was created was because prior to the medallions, taxis were a real risk to the general public

So do Uber rides have terrible drivers, cars in bad shape, no consistent metering, or ride negotiation?

If not, then it seems like the regulation intended to accomplish the above is either obsolete or irrelevant to this case.
