Uber are not disrupting other service providers. They are competing
with them and they are not unregulated. TfL have confirmed that Uber
are conforming to the same regulations as other London minicab firms.

Oh really? So Uber saying they conform is good enough is it? Anyone done
any spot checks? Its rather easy with a minicab firm that has an office, not
so much when its just some guy with a car and a phone linked to customers
via a server in the USA.

Uber London Limited have a Private hire Operator Licence (#7979) and an
office in Tower Hamlets (1st Floor Aldgate Tower, 2 Leman Street). TfL
say they have done compliance checks.
