    Uber is so obviously a good thing that you can measure how corrupt cities are by how hard they try to suppress it.

        @paulg I'm no supporter of the taxi monopoly. Still, I can't support a "disruptive" system that blatantly ignores workers' rights and laws.

        @paulg you are totally right. If it wasn't better, people wouldn't choose it instead of taxies.

        @paulg Strange definition of corrupt. Instead of pushing for regulation modernization, they just cut deals with city officials here in BKK.

        @paulg Sao Paulo started voting a ban this week after the Taxi union implied that some Uber drivers might be murdered if it didn't.

        @paulg @gassee truth be told, it is Uberpop that got these outlaws in trouble. Uber has 3-4 competitors in Paris who have no problem.

        @paulg UberPOP is the only issue. UberX / Uber Berline are perfectly legal and Paris is the biggest Uber city in the world.

        @paulg @Altimor competition is (always) a good thing; Uber, in the specific instance, might not be, being a rather shitty megacorp.

        @manentio what makes you feel that way? The service it provides is light years ahead of the competition, and it creates thousands of jobs.
