Sure different rules all over the place.

Taxi rates are generally set in stone by local government.

They are subject to additional inspection.

In NYC they are required to replace their cars every 3 years.

The last 2 medallions, required for legal cab operation, sold in NYC were corporate medallions. Went for $1,000,000 each.

Operators of cab companies have to deal with employer law. Übers drivers are employees when it's beneficial to the company but independent contractors when it does not benefit über

Can't have your cake and all that..... As they say
