This is basically how Uber operates.
What do you mean by 'flout the laws'? Doing it cheaper by not having to pay for expensive taxi tokens isn't flouting the law. True, it gives them an unfair advantage, and obviously the city would have to find a way to make it fair for everyone. Of course that should also include the consumer who is currently getting ripped off.
