Uber will not send trips to (~2,500) new/reissued green cab licenses associated with SHL Pilot. NYTWA protests, arguing addition of new for-hire vehicles still dilutes TLC driver earnings

Now that Uber has refused to assign trips to the new SHL PILOT PROGRAM why is there even a need to protest? Who would be crazy to bid for this license? Let’s recap: 1) You can’t pick up in most of Manhattan; 2) You can’t pick up at the airports; 3) You’re not allowed to pick up street hails; 4) and now Uber is refusing to dispatch to these licensees. That’s it. The program is dead. On the day of the auction this new SHL PILOT PROGRAM may take weeks to fill up (or may not fill up at all) instead of the few minutes it took for the EV license. Someone please explain to me WHY someone would be crazy enough to apply for this license. What am I missing here?

The car service companies will bid for them. Like Carmel
