which they should, don't you think? sometimes being disruptive is the only way to go.

No, because they're just trying to get an exemption for themselves. If they were advocating for a change for all, that'd be better.

you cannot advocate for a change for all if you are the only company in that field. Uber was literally a revolution of transportation. However, as a side effect, the changes you advocate sets a precedence, thus also affects everyone, which was the case in the US. There were a few other companies who also benefited from the changes, such as Lift.

"you cannot advocate for a change for all if you are the only company in that field."

But they're not. They're a taxi company. There are tons of those around.
