I’m not saying the government is immune from corruption, and while I do not think protectionism is bad, the government here does not intervene with this at all.
Uber is not even treated legally as taxi service, but as chauffeur-for-hire service, meaning they only need to do 2 things: Their drivers have a drivers license, their cars are insured.
The drivers license for taxi drivers, chauffeurs and bus drivers costs 55€. fifty-five Euro. That’s nothing.
And one can reasonably demand that cars on the street are insured, as especially in car crashes it is helpful.
