“With a few taps of an app called Uber, users can summon a hired car without needing to find a taxicab. The service is catching on in cities across the country. Since Uber launched locally, cab operators have complained that it creates unfair competition because it dispatches cars that are not regulated the way taxis are. And earlier this month, the state ordered Uber to shut down in Massachusetts, saying officials had not approved its system for calculating fares. State officials reversed the ban Wednesday, allowing Uber to continue operating here, but cabbies are not giving up the fight.”
