I've taken Uber from the airport, so I don't really see what the story is here. Is it that they're going the "legit" way and paying the fees? As a consumer, I don't honestly care all that much.
In other words, instead of trying to fight the monopoly, because of the lack in funding Sidecar is rolling over. That's not really a consumer-friendly scenario, not at all.
Yeah, but they will need to also start paying fees. I think sidecar has cheaper rates (on average compared to Lyft and Uber), but those fees to operate out of SFO (the same fees current SF taxi companies pay), will probably get offloaded to the consumer. Still more options, but nothing really that exciting.
