Uber agreed to install around 100 meters in cars to get their foot in the door in the Indian market. Uber is worth $70B because they developed technology that doesn't require meters. Private drivers and no meters is what sets them apart from taxi companies.
Please provide a link to any other article about Uber installing meters anywhere else. I can provide several where Uber is either in a lawsuit or backed out of a country altogether because they refuse to comply with taxi regulations.
