All professional drivers, including Uber drivers, already need TLC licensing, as do their vehicles.
- aianus 11y agoI use Uber as shorthand for UberX, where the vast majority of drivers (at least in my city) have no commercial licensing or insurance. That's what enables them to be so cheap and ubiquitous. Maybe NYC specifically is different, I don't know.
- ibejoeb 11y agoYes, NYC is different. All for-hire drivers are required to go through the TLC. From Uber, itself: https://get.uber.com/cl/nyc/ https://get.uber.com/cl/nyc/. TLC also regulates the types of vehicles that must be driven and mandates commercial insurance.
