Uber in Waterloo Region

[ookpik]

I hate this little piece of the messaging battle, but Uber's been relatively successful at it.

Uber is not a "taxi", only insofar as the narrow legal definition within the existing regulatory environment defines one.

Point taken. I must admit that I too am a bit uncomfortable with this distinction. However if Uber didn't use such a distinction they'd never have gotten off the ground (or on the road) in the first place. Given society's natural conservatism when it comes to disruptive change I suppose this sort of tactic is understandable even if it's somewhat disingenuous.
