"couldn't be done by a properly licensed, old-style, taxi firm".
That is the point. The taxi firms didn't think of this and now they are crying to the govt. I very much doubt any govt scheme would come up with such a useful combination of technologies.
The govt doesn't care if you get a good deal, which is why taxi's are so uniformly crap.
The taxi's don't care if you get a good deal, which is why they are so scared you'll have another choice.
We will see how this shakes out in the courts I'm sure.
I'll say it again for those who missed it, if the taxi firms were so concerned for YOUR well being, they would buy the sodding app off Uber.
