I&#x27;m think you&#x27;ve got a leap there. I agree that when the barriers to entry go down (as uber does to the taxi market) prices go down. Obviously the drivers don&#x27;t like this. But, as you said it&#x27;s not just investors in the mix. It&#x27;s the consumers that this plays against..<p>But, for this dynamic to be more favorable for drivers you need to price fix and&#x2F;or get drivers out. Either way, it&#x27;s not the best for consumers. It also seems unlikely to succeed unless they can prevent new drivers from undercutting them on Uber. This is effectively a cartel of some sort, regulating prices and producers.<p>I&#x27;m not against co-ops. In some cases they make sense and maybe this is such a case, but they are not a neutral party. They have their interests and those are not necessarily everyone&#x27;s best interests. They also will use regulation and&#x2F;or market power to benefit themselves at others expense, if possible.
