Uber, Lyft to halt Austin service after losing vote
http://www.usatoday.com/story/mo…
"When Uber and Lyft began operations, they were allowed to self-regulate. But in December, the city council adopted a set of rules that included requiring fingerprinting of drivers, which draws strong objections from both companies as being unnecessary because of their own background checks. Uber says is also threatening to pull out of Houston, which also requires fingerprinting. It notes that other cities, like Toronto and Miami, have passed ridesharing laws that don't require fingerprints."
- lol, Austin. lived there 13 years. ignore the bumper stickers, most backward and conservative places in Texas. Fact.robotron3k
- Fuck off Uber/Lyft. Austin didn't push you out. Bunch of crybaby wankers. So sorry we wanted background checks before getting in cars with basically anyone.GM278
- According to the articles, that's not the case, you wanted finger prints. They already do background checks.formed
- I actually took a lyft two weeks ago and the driver admitted to me he spent 5 years in prison. FACT Background checks my assGM278
- perhaps the guy wasn't in for an offense that would keep him from a job like this? debt to society was paid... let the man work?PonyBoy
