NEW YORK, NY - JULY 20: Taxi drivers, union members and civic groups hold a news conference and rally on the steps of City Hall to support a City Council move to limit the number of Uber drivers and other for-hire car companies on the streets of New York City on July 20, 2015 in New York City. New York's City Council has proposed two bills last month to limit the number of new for-hire vehicles, as well as to study the rapidly rising industry's impact on traffic. Uber has responded in an open letter arguing that its 6,000 Uber cars out during an average hour are a small part of the city's overall traffic. In cities across the globe Uber has upended the traditional taxi concept with many drivers and governments taking action against the California based company. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
