Comment on Protests against Uber are heating up in Europeparent

No, I don't think so either. But that doesn't mean they should. Firstly, they might like driving their black cab a lot more than Uber's cars. I'm a big, big fan of the hackney carriage for the way it's designed specifically for carrying 5 passengers in this context.

Perhaps it would be nice to see Uber using hackney carriages, I dunno. At any rate, I agree that Uber should be a force for good here in improving the licensing regulations.

Personally I've always had good experiences with black cab drivers, and many times they've given me a discount. But I've also found the same thing with Uber drivers.
