The consensus was that they had to pay taxes, they had to display prominently their registration, and that they had to provide the insurance statements. We also compared these concerns with other countries, who had similar contentions not only with Uber, but also with Airbnb.

With Airbnb, we now have a finer agreement, but UberX did not yet meet these promises. Maybe in the future, with an experimental local city government — with a relative shortage of taxi supplies — their local independent drivers may be willing with work with UberTAXI on mutually agreeable terms.

It might be more convenient, because in the rural cities were less served by taxis, it would also give existing taxi drivers a chance to reach more clients.
