When at First You Don't Succeed...Sue! Uber, Lyft and Class Action

Well, welcome to Miami, the magic city.  It must be magic because we're trying to make innovation disappear.  Yes, I'm being a little difficult.  It's not Miami's fault that Christopher Davis, CEO of Professional Chauffeur Transportation Services has sued Miami-Dade County, Uber and Lyft on behalf of all for-hire transportation companies in the county and "the public at large." Well, Mr. Davis, please leave me off of your list of coplaintiffs.  It's not difficult to see what's going on here.  The established companies have created a series of obstacles to make competition difficult to preserve their monopoly powers.  Listen, I get it.  If I had a monopoly, I'd want to protect it as well.
We like to claim in this country that we are pro-market, pro-competition, etc, but, in reality, we set up a bunch of barriers so that the old guard can scream foul! Why are Uber and Lyft growing rapidly?  Is it because customers hate their service and feel that the Taxi medallion is a better way of judging the vehicle than the last 200 reviews that the driver and his car received?  Is it because people prefer to pay more money for a service that is less customizable.
Mr. Davis, please spend your money making your services competitive.  Please do not hide behind arbitrary standards that your monopoly helped pass as if that is something demanded by the public good. I'm all for you competing on the same turf as your competitors.  If you feel that your "background check" is better than the competition, advertise that and see what the market says.  Don't waste my time with your pathetic suit against "rogue companies."
Why do I care?  As you may know, Room2Care is to Long Term Care what these companies are to transportation companies.  We leverage the sharing economy to provide accountable, affordable senior care.  I am waiting for Mr. Davis' equivalent in the Nursing Home industry to take the same swipe at me.  So, I'm hoping that Mr. Davis loses and that competition and "the public at large" win.
