This is really unfortunate. Of course, I can see council members looking to protect an established industry. In their eyes, they could either let the open market work where riders choose between Uber & taxis and potentially put taxi drivers out of work or work to keep this startup out of the business and protect an entrenched economy. It's a no-brainer in their eyes, but it's surely unfortunate in terms of progress.
