we had similar problems in ireland with taxi's but this was solved not by uber but by deregulation.

Under this we got thousands more taxi's who are all registered and have public liability insurance.

Under Irish law you have to have a taxi or hackny license in order to transport anyone so it is illegal for uber to operate here, but with the selection of other apps like lync with work quite well in our regulatory enviroment this has been a great result!
