Parallel Issues in London: Uber vs. Taxi Cab

In London, or across the pond, Uber vs. taxi cabs has centered as the narrative. The taxi cab in London has a long history, whereas Uber arrived in 2012. In London, the Uber is normally the cheaper ride. Some have claimed Uber is killing the business model and culture of the traditional black cab (London’s version of the NYC yellow cab). It is interesting to see the comparisons between NYC and London’s taxi-Uber rift. What do you think of this?
