I don't use uber, since I live downtown. If I want a ride, I put my hand up in the air and a cab stops. That's my app. But I think it's ridiculous to try to keep uber out.
But even now, looking at Uber, the cheapest fare from Pearson to downtown is $95-$124 - and that's with competition from taxis. Going slightly off airport property it's still $55-$72 right now.
Uber might be fine when demand is low. But it's a far worse option when demand is high.
If you're next to a busy street, you're lucky.Apps ... I'd sooner simply hail one on the street. Why wait? I don't want to have to start clicking on multiple apps every time I want a cab!

It's my understanding this has already happened.How long will it take before the first cab driver who owns his own car signs up with Uber and play both sides of the street rather than sitting on his ass outside a hotel or plaza?

Police need to enforce the very clear law. Both against Uber and the lawbreakers that use them. And against those that rent out taxi licences in violation of the Highway Code.
If the world had moved on without me, there wouldn't be a taxi stand across the street. There's no way that the 30 second walk to the front of it is faster than using uber.Well I think it's time for you to give up and retire grandpa, clearly the world is moving on without you.
