1. Get taxi driver license and driver for a fleet for a certain % to take home. This basically means that Uber is just one of the systems you use to get customers.
2. Get a taxi driver license, a sole trader company (1 person company) and a taxi operating license. This means you are a contractor for Uber, and pay the 25% comission.
--> You do not need a meter
--> You do need a specific insurance for taxi business.
So basically if Uber runs a fleet of contractors, it's massively more important than having taxi companies that operate phone-based (as well as app-based) ordering systems. They have massively more overhead than the tiny operations office that Uber needs to operate in any certain city.
