Against the Uber Cap
The City Council takes up proposed legislation this week that would put a one-year cap on the growth of ride-sharing services like Uber, pending a traffic study. New York City Council member Ben Kallos argues against the bill.

.@NYCCouncil member @BenKallos says @BilldeBlasio’s plan to cap @Uber_NYC + other ride-sharing servs “sends the wrong message to start-ups.”

@BrianLehrer Uber vs Taxi is what competition is about! Disrupt the status quo and drive pricing down and give consumers options

Abdul, a yellow cab driver: "I don't want @Uber_NYC to go away. Each Uber car should have a medallion, have same business expenses as us."

@BrianLehrer Never had a bad @Uber ride in NYC, NUMEROUS bad yellow cab experiences. Also, I live in Queens & Uber never turns me down.

@BrianLehrer @BenKallos keep each service in its lane. Make street hail easier via yellow app. Let yellow get uber overflow.
