Uber, Lyft, Sidecar and Pink Mustaches

Creative business enterprises Uber, Lyft and Sidecar, which all provide ride-share services, received a friendly letter from the District Attorneys of San Francisco and Los Angeles. Friendly in this case is defined as- hey companies, we think you’re breaking several laws,and we might sue you. The district attorneys raised issues such as whether proper background checks on drivers are being conducted; the threat to public safety for riders; ride share calculations violate state law; and failure to get proper state licenses. Expect California to regulate ride sharing more heavily both locally and statewide. [San Francisco Chronicle]
