Considering how many other taxi companies break regulations like this, but nothing said.

Uber does it, and its a massive issue.

I've lost count how many disabled unfriendly private taxi's there are, how many times the card machine "stops working". The industry in general is scummy. In general Uber is better than average.

And junk stories are very common, common service PR companies provide. About 50% of news stories are PR pieces, basically because journalists are lazy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_relations#Negative

I'm not saying this is one of those stories, but a huge quantity are. Especially when they mention other taxi companies in a good light, it makes it obvious.

Taxi companies may fight regulations, but they don't flout them.

If the city says, "We want 500 accessible taxicabs next year", taxi companies may say, "How about 200, five years from now?"

But they won't say, "Fuck you, I'm a special bro-snowflake and your rules don't apply to me."

Uber has gone out of its way to earn all the negative stories about itself.
