All the existing operators will get together ring up Uber and see what arrives.

Then that PH will be binned from them all.

Wrong I know, but that's what will happen.

Good point - though they don't need to wait and see what and who arrives.

As soon as a car is requested, a photo and name of the driver, reg no and make of car is displayed.

However, if Uber becomes a success in Portsmouth, then those operators may soon find themselves out of business.

It's getting to that level, and how quick they can.

TBH I'm not convinced in Portsmouth they will.

But then again it's better than Bradford.

It's now coming up to 3 years in London for Uber, and Addison Lee are already considering job cuts because of them.

But there are a lot more businesses and tourists in London than Portsmouth.

Only time will tell.
