They are legal if you follow the regulations. The problem with the "rideshare" companies is that they don't. 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).

Lmao as if the cab companies weren't a cartel making their own regulations.

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.
