SPX said:The reason they're so cheap is because they're paying drivers peanuts and while ever there are people stupid enough to drive cars for minimum wage (or less in some cases), Uber will always be in with a chance. Once they have to play by the same rules as the other private hire firms, their costs will soon spiral and their fees will go up.
This is very true. The taxis are not competing on a level playing field.
This was the problem back in the noughties with the Poles in construction. We had company vans, paid good money to time served men, paid tax etc and they didn't. We lost out.
