As an Uber rider in the DC area, I'm so happy this was defeated. It's a great service, and I think it will really end up benefiting taxi drivers at the expense of the taxi dispatch offices, which are terrible at their job due to their practice of dispatching drivers based on kickbacks rather than proximity to pick up.
