So if you’re asking about Uber. Uber is now a taxi fleet called the Cue-Taxi. It never undercuts existing meters, and it is fully registered as a taxi fleet. At the same time, we change our laws so that taxis don’t need to be painted yellow. They can enjoy surge pricing when there is fluctuating demand. And critically, the same law enabled that in every rural area, people who do long term health care to the elderly and so on, many of them immigrant workers, can now become co-ops. They can form co-ops that enjoy the same law that Uber is enjoying from and use app to dispatch and charging for extra income, picking up tourists or having their elders take care, along with other elderly in the same village and charging them collectively into a nearby hospital and so on. Such local taxi co-ops were illegal before, for the same reason why Uber was illegal.
