1/ Somewhere out there is the story of a modest startup in SF trying to use idle school buses to provide midnight service. Everyone, including the city council, loved the idea. 2 years later they gave up because the city council still hadn't actually voted to let them start.
-
2/ Then there's Uber who just started providing rides and grew fast enough that by the time the city council got around to being outraged Uber had plenty of money to defend themselves.
