Uber Wants MY support… To continue to break the LAW. I don’t think so !!

Uber wants your vote of support. And it has hired a campaign manager to win you over.

Uber, a fast-growing start-up that promotes private car sharing, announced on Tuesday that it had hired the political strategist David Plouffe to be its senior vice president of policy and strategy. The move further signaled the grand aspirations of companies like Uber, which are challenging entrenched industries and running into resistance from some local governments.

Mr. Plouffe, who ran President Obama’s 2008 campaign, said he planned to run Uber’s communication efforts much like a political race, pushing to woo consumers and regulators alike in the company’s fast-paced expansion across the world.

Uber, which allows consumers to summon private rides via a smartphone app, now operates in more than 170 cities globally, the company said. But it has tussled with regulators in the United States and overseas in its race to gain traction in new cities. The legality of the service was questioned in 2012 when it entered New York City. In June, thousands of taxi drivers in Europe tied up traffic as they protested Uber’s rise.

If the government lets them win and do it they’re way, then no one has to follow the rules. It will be Anarchy

Message to Uber.\: Just play by the rules Uber, and we all win… Other wise, “JUST GO AWAY” !

Things are Changing for Uber…

California regulators have ordered ride-sharing services such as Uber to stop operating at airports, at least for now.

The issue is that companies such as UberX, Sidecar, Lyft, and Wingz do not have permits to do airport pick-ups. The companies employ citizen drivers at airports in San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Los Angeles and San Diego, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

“We have heard numerous complaints that (our) safety rules are being ignored,” Michael Peevey, president of the California Public Utilities Commission, wrote on Wednesday in a letter to the companies, according to the Chronicle.

Peevey also said the vehicles lack the proper “trade dress” and proof of insurance, the Chronicle reports.

According to ABC7 in the San Francisco area, authorized taxis also have to pay a $4 fee for their airport fares.

Regulators said if the ride-sharing companies don’t stop operating from the airports within two weeks, their permits will be revoked, completely shutting them down.
