"New technology can be disruptive"

Which may be true but in this case is utter bollocks. There are lots of taxi hailing apps that work just like Uber but which summon an actual taxi to your location, a taxi that is licenced, insured, inspected and driven by someone who has undergone all the necessary background checks and tests.

So its nothing to do with technology or disruption so much as with Uber running an illegal taxi service. Their service might be a bit more high tech than some dodgy mini cab drivers but it's largely no different.
