I disagree

Uber has so much VC funding I just cant see opposing companies like Lyft being successful in combating them. Just my opinion.

Uber just cut their fares to lower than yellow cab rates in Manhattan. That is not a move to maximize their profit... it's a move to kill their competition, IMO. The maximization of profit will take place after the competition is killed off.

Lyft competes on price and potentially better drivers (they apparently get paid more).

Who knows, maybe another company will compete on safety (seems hard) or limited "surge" pricing.

Uber and ADA litigation

Uber does not provide wheelchair accessible vehicles in compliance with the ADA, arguing that it is NOT a transportation provider but a matching service between riders and drivers who are independent contractors.

Ultimately, Uber's longevity will be determined by its ability to defend itself against ADA litigation. ADA enforcement is the responsibility of the Department of Justice, so violations are a big deal. When the first ruling against Uber happens, complaints from the disabled community will skyrocket and put it out of business.

Right.

Because all of the taxis have wheel chair ramps leading to the cum stained polyester covered crack burn hole pock marked seats in the back.
