I suspect you are right. It will make for an interesting year.<p>But rather than being toast, it may be that the livery business is changed from a local monopoly, to a more market driven one. And then it will be interesting to see whether or not companies can deliver better service than the Taxis have over the last few years. I worry sometimes that rather than empowering drivers and enabling better service, it just changes who gets all the money. Sort of the same old, same old, just different names. And if that is the outcome, even with Uber being &quot;successful&quot; then I don&#x27;t think it really will have dented the universe at all.
