Beck has been waging a pretty high-profile PR war against ride-sharing in this city..

But Beck Taxi are also the face of everything that's wrong with taxis in Toronto, so most people here don't take their position very seriously, and they do not have much goodwill from the population (or from taxi operators in a lot of cases).

That said, in the last few months whenever I talk to my Uber driver about "how things are going", the majority of them complain about slowing business, and making less money and getting less rides..

It seems like, anecdotally speaking, the downtown area in particular is pretty saturated with drivers, and while this is great for riders (I almost never wait more than 2-3 minutes no matter where I am), it's probably less great for drivers.
