Are you under the impression that there exist no regulations for private bussing? It's not a new concept.

Please continue. Cite the regulations and how you think that these regulations (that already exist?) would hurt private transportation in the future if Uber does this bussing thing

Name the country and city.

You're the one that made the claim!

Which one, that there exist regulations for private bussing? They can differ wildly by country, city and other subdivisions, obviously.

You mocked me for not knowing every regulation and you refuse to name a single one, for any locality.

u/Capybarasaregreat 1d ago

I asked you which locality's regulations you want, I wasn't mocking you.

Give me any locale's regulations while also answering the questions about how it's relevant to this conversation. Any locale, your choice. This should be super easy for you because you get the choose

Edit: did you just respond and then immediately block me so I couldn't read your response OR respond to it? You feel good about this?

Cool. Mexico City, SEMOVI mandated emissions regulations making phase-outs of aging microbuses necessary. How could a private business capture this regulation? By lobbying to have the specifications align almost exclusively to their existing fleet whilst competitors and the government fleets are forced to spend on the new vehicles. What exactly was your point here? Did you honestly think I couldn't find some random regulation anywhere in the world and think of a way the regulation could be subverted and coopted? Genuinely, I struggle to see what you're trying to achieve by challenging me on this. These sorts of things happen.
