'I’ve always believed that turning fear into fun is the gift of creativity,' Gebbia said. Gebbia, whose home-hosting app has resulted in more than 123 million room nights of accommodation in private homes since it was created, says Airbnb has fundamentally changed the relationship between homeowners and strangers. Kalanick and Gebbia brought to TED in Vancouver a view of how disruptive social technologies are reshaping how people live and travel. In a TED talk that followed another major social disrupter, Joe Gebbia of Airbnb, Kalanick made it clear he’s still willing to take on the regulators to reclaim congested streets and cut pollution. Instead, he was left to the same transportation methods others must rely on: taxis, buses, rapid transit. Kalanick couldn’t take an Uber car from Vancouver International Airport to the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre. Vancouver now remains the largest city in North America that has - so far - repelled the Uber juggernaut that has swept around the world, threatening conventional mass transit and the taxi industry. VANCOUVER - It may be no small irony to the more than 1,400 attendees to the TED Conference in Vancouver that when Uber CEO Travis Kalanick launched an attack on transport regulators Tuesday for standing in the way of his ride-sharing app, he was doing so in a city that has successfully resisted his service.
