I was there last week. At least they had a rideaustin app which was exactly like uber but it kept asking if I wanted to upcharge to give to charity. No, you dirty hippies, I'm not giving to your "charity"

Austin itself is great. The people suck

I was under the impression that they've been out for bit. I was there in July and uber wasn't allowed to operate in the city.

Hey, let's leave California because it's too overbearing and move to a new place and try to make it just like the place we left because it was too often overbearing

Austin is about to become a fricked city.

the political campaign for the uber/lyft was the absolute worst.
a great study on how not to do things

Is has been gone for a while. This was the first big event since they left, and the alternatives were apparently not up to standards

Especially the local gov't. They are losing state funding because they demand to be a sanctuary city.

I think eventually the normal, non-lunatics in Westlake, Lake Travis, Dripping Springs etc will start to leave

During the fight over the proposed regulations, spokesmen for Uber and Lyft argued that the onerous fingerprint requirements would create needless ‘friction,’ raise response time for riders, and also shrink their pool of rideshare drivers. Opponents also warned the regulation would disproportionately impact people of color, due to the fact that it includes arrest records rather than just convictions.
Anyone getting turned down for that kind of job due to their record is probably being done a favor anyway.

2. Uber left Austin awhile ago, no?
