City of Chicago is CORRUPT for allowing uber to operate without properly licensing their drivers, allowing uber to use commercial insurance only during the time a customer is in the car and they are allowed to charge what ever they want. Uber drivers DO NOT have chauffeur license and are not required by the city of chicago. They do not have any special plate for commercial use. Taxis and limos do and it costs about $500 to maintain yearly. Imagine who your driver could be. Uber does not have commercial insurance 24/7 like taxis and limos do. They only provide commercial insurance from the time a customer gets in the car to the time the customer is dropped off. If the driver gets into an accident going to pick up the customer or after he/she has dropped off the customer, they are on their own. THATS NOT FAIR! This is the majority of the reason why uber has such cheap rates. Lastly, city of chicago has a cap on taxi meters as to what their minimum charge should be. Where as uber doesn't have such cap. City of chicago allows about 7000 taxis and 2-3000 limos. There is approximately 50,000 uber cars in chicago now. They do not have a cap by the city of chicago. To me it seems uber is government controlled. It has been most like created to destabilize the taxi industry because the taxi industry is mostly controlled by middle eastern which USA hates. The government created taxi medallion to put rules for taxi service and now a new company enters the market and rules do not apply to them. HOW IN THE **** CAN THE GOVERNMENT ALLOW THIS SCAM? Ubers reason is that they are a technology company? ok so what? You are providing the same service as taxis and limos. You are taking people from point A to point B. The end result is this government is making hell lot of money from this technologies companies and they do not care to put rules on them. MAKE THE RULES FAIR FOR ALL SIDES. UNTIL THEN SHAME ON YOU CORRUPT USA!!!!!!!
