> The company has been calling Uber customers directly, asking them to send messages of support for Uber to their council members, according to BuzzFeed. Lyft has been emailing customers with its own appeal to “speak up for ridesharing.”
If some company ever called me up to rally political support, that'd be the immediate end of any business. Ever.
