I've been getting recorded messages twice a day now from Uber about the "bad old days back" when "cabs didn't want to leave Manhattan".
I've maybe had that problem 2-3 times in 30 years living here.
There are already plenty of yellow, green and livery cars where I live (Astoria), and plenty of cabs in Manhattan willing to drive me home at all hours.
No one is trying to kill Uber in NYC, just put some temporary cap on new drivers until an (ill defined) study is done.
Uber, you can stop phoning me every day, I won't be using your vital service any time soon.
