There are apps to share rides, but city officials have to decide if that’s OK
Uber and Lyft are two ride-sharing companies operating in town that let customers use a smartphone app to get rides. Cab drivers don’t like the competition, and the city's transportation code does not allow for such a free-wheeling set-up. City officials must decide whether to change the code or shut them down. We ask two City Council members what should happen.
