How is it the "Taxi vs Uber" war going on your country?

Australian here

Taxi industry had become a duopoloy, with taxis bringing the government to up the cost on entry for the industry.

Uber fucking wrecked them when they came to Australia. Everyone hates the taxis because they're shit in every conceivable way. Sometimes they don't come, they take ages to come if they do, massive fees, sometimes they go the long way, and some cases of harassment that went unpunished. Many also stopped picking up Aborigines.

Uber didn't have those problems. The problem it DOES have though, is borderline violation of labour laws, resulting in Uber drivers often getting below min-wage. Uber's clash with Australia's sturdy labour laws is still on-going.

A campaign by the taxi industry happened a while back to try and get people to say good shit about riding in taxis. It back-fired though, because there isn't anything good about taxis.
