Wait, in your city cars don't have license plates? Which city is that?
I usually have no way to know which cars are Uber cars. Thus my point about lack of accountability.
If you're really having trouble understanding how this is a difference in accountability, I think I'm going back to my "anonymous loon" theory.
As for big logos, they are useless if you are not using the service - since then you have no reason to complain about it - and when you're using it you know how the specific car you're using looks like, so why you need the logo?
>>> I usually have no way to know which cars are Uber cars.
If you are using one, you do. If not, why would you need to know that?
>>> I think I'm going back to my "anonymous loon" theory.
If my arguments cause you mental anguish and you can not resolve it by finding counter arguments, it is always soothing to mark the opponent as "anonymous loon". I'm totally fine with it, if it makes you feel better. My arguments do not become worse because somebody on the internet failed to address them and resorted to name calling and focusing on my grammar, which is the lowest level of discussion above name calling.
It's almost like you didn't read my original comment here, the one where I said "If I see [a taxi driver] behaving badly, I call up the city taxi commission and let 'em know."
Which is an actual thing I actually do. Because it turns out private cars use public roads, ones other humans also have to get around on.

Statistically, they probably do. Sometimes people stop dialog because the thoughtful, reasoned, evidence-backed propositions make them realized they are wrong. Most of the time, though, it's people saying, "Well, I guess I have better things to do than argue with some anonymous goof with an axe to grind and no interest in understanding what I might have to say."
Your bad grammar doesn't make you wrong. But that plus the fundamentalist libertarian idiocy makes you look like a sort of wrong person common on Hacker News. If you don't want to be mistaken for one of those people, you'll have to try harder.
I thought you meant behaving badly while providing service. You mean just generally behaving badly, like spitting on puppies and cussing at nuns? Why you need to call taxi commission about it? If he's doing something illegal or disturbing the peace, call the police. If not, why you need to call anybody at all?
>>> Because it turns out private cars use public roads, ones other humans also have to get around on.
In other words, you like to control people around you, and not having everybody wear a number and a phone that you can use to tell on them disturbs you. I find that sentiment hard to sympathize with, sorry. People sometimes do behave badly, but they have no obligation to provide you with a phone number to tell on them.
>>> But that plus the fundamentalist libertarian idiocy
And here we are back to name calling. Take another cookie!
I like that in your world there is only "illegal" and "perfectly fine", with nothing in between. You should write about your homeland. Dystopian fantasy novels are so popular lately.
> People sometimes do behave badly, but they have no obligation to provide you with a phone number to tell on them.
People in general don't. People providing certain regulated services in fact do, at least around here. We like it that way.
> And here we are back to name calling. Take another cookie!
No, when I say "idiocy" I'm mocking your ridiculous ideas. If I'd meant to call you names, I would have said you were an idiot.
Not in my city. And many Uber cars display no logo at all.
> Yes, English is not my native language. You caught me. This invalidates all my arguments, of course. You won, take a cookie.
It is regrettably also how loons write. When combined with their typical arguments, it is going to get you written off as a loon. One way to fix this is to stand behind your words and just say something about yourself in your profile.
