    Italy. Because you need a license to be a taxi driver, and a random company cannot hand them out (and the taxi drivers union is powerful and corrupt). And because the government gotta know who is renting a room where, you can’t just go wherever you want without anyone knowing, especially foreigners. Whenever you rent a room in Italy, the owner will take a picture of your ID/passport, and send your data to the local government. Also you gotta pay taxes on the rooms you rent.

      I’m not sure that I would consider “we don’t have Uber because the Taxi industry is corrupt” to be a win

        Well, instead of stealing from the drivers, to give to a corporation, it steals from tourists to give to drivers. I say it’s not good but it’s still less bad
