The state that scared uber and lyft off with background requirements, fingerprinting, and restricting bikelanes? I think maybe the grass is just greener.

- manigandham 6y agoI agree with those policies so it counts as better run for me. As far as I can tell, Uber and Lyft do operate in Texas today so it looks like everything worked out?
- MAGZine 6y agoYeah, they're operating again. I have little doubt that Uber and Lyft will continue to operate in california once they a) adjust their business model to pay people appropriately (they seem to be able to roll out new software quite quickly) and b) stop throwing a tantrum (which is what happened in austin). California is one of USA's biggest markets. Even if they don't get their shit together, one of CA's many entrepreneurs will. Who wants free VC bucks?
- chasd00 6y agoIt was the City of Austin that scared off Uber and Lyft for a time not the state. Lots of West coasters came to Austin and brought their political problems with them. The City of Austin is CA lite basically.
