You mean the taxi companies that Uber and Lyft effectively replaced that were even more sleazy? I’m still wondering how the taxi industry managed to get an exemption from these new standards and why that was deemed fair.

No, there are dozens of start ups that want to compete in Uber's market, but can't compete against an entity that doesn't follow the law and is never held accountable for it.
