Comments
Bad public policy that supports a single company at the expense of the rest of the transportation industry. No safeguards for Consumer Protection, weak insurance laws and verification standards, and no legal enforcement from government.

Comments
Bad public policy. Lacks consumer protections. Gives huge market advantage to Uber at expense of existing transportation companies. Relies on untested and speculative insurance model. Takes away local control from municipalities. Extremely harmful!
