They are legal if you follow the regulations. The problem with the "rideshare" companies is that they don't. We should just call them "unregulated taxis" rather than pretending that they are a different service. I think just about every taxi company these days is on some app or another (often the same that call unregulated cabs in countries that actually got their shit together and banned the unregulated ones).

I'd like to point out this probably would have taken another 10-15 years to achieve had it not been for the disruption of said ridesharing apps.

They literally changed the name of the company from UberCab to duck regulation.

It would have been cool if they'd renamed themselves "Calloway".
