Franco style of Fascist-Communism is long a way of life with near the near total corrupt government-union control over licenses with crushing fees. The chance for free market enterprise is almost immediately crushed. This may be seen as the regulatory future trajectory here too.As we have recently seen, Frenchmen will roll over and remain passive in the face Muslim Terror threats and acts, especially when made against Jews, but offer a better, cheaper taxi-like service (or produce or any other "protected" product or service), then look out for you life and well being. m/r
Uber Controversy -- France Gets Radical | National Review Online
by Shubhankar Chhokra June 27, 2015
Revolutionary fervor has seized unionized cab drivers across France
since yesterday, as nearly 3,000 have taken to the streets, attacking
other drivers and setting cars on fire. Their trigger: the launch of
UberPOP, a peer-to-peer service by the ride-share app company Uber that
is banned nationwide.

Taxi-union officials announced their intent to hold a nationwide strike
against the tech company a week ago, railing against its decision to
start UberPOP in three new French cities despite the program’s being
embroiled in French courts. No one, however, expected protests to
escalate to such levels. Cabbies barricaded roads, airports, and train
stations in major cities including Paris, Marseilles, Nice, and Lyons.

In at least a handful of incidents, UberPOP drivers and clients have
been assaulted and detained by taxi drivers, bricks have been flung at
windows, and tires have been slashed. And there have been reports of
cabbies using the Uber app as a weapon against itself by ordering rides
only to entrap and injure the drivers. Meanwhile, some tourists — singer
Courtney Love Cobain among them — have been stranded by the unrest.
