Interesting how Uber is lumped in with Lyft and SideCar. Uber drivers at least have (towncar) licenses. I haven't figured out yet how Lyft/SideCar are anything more than illegal taxi services that rename "fare" "donation".
- cj 14y agoUber also runs Uberx, a cheaper non-towncar version of Uber similar to Lyft. Does anyone know if uberx drivers also have towncar licenses?
- sbacheld 14y agoUber also has extended their service to include some real taxi drivers in San Francisco (which would have a normal taxi license)
- brianr 14y agoUberX cars still have towncar licenses though, judging by the TCP stickers on their bumpers.
- j-v 14y agoIn Chicago I've seen taxi drivers using Uber X, but that may be a city-specific pilot. This TC interview with Uber indicates that Uber X drivers have TCP licenses, but may not necessarily drive limos or town cars: http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/01/uber-opens-up-platform-to-non-limo-vehicles-with-uber-x-service-will-be-35-less-expensive/ http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/01/uber-opens-up-platform-to-n...
