Should be around noon :fingerscrossed:

The proposed ordinance, to be decided by the City Council April 9, would create a special class of vehicles-for-hire for newly designated "transportation network companies" (TNCs)

Update: All of NOLA's problems are now solved!

Has Uber jumped the shark, though? I feel like it's had it's 15 minutes. A $40 ride in a Nissan isn't really my thing.

I just downloaded the United app. I asked my cabbie about it on Friday, and he told me he wasn't sure how it worked.

Hell no.

Go to New York, Chicago, etc and use it. Best thing ever. In Chicago it is slightly cheaper most of the time and much more convenient. In NYC its a little more expensive, but its great if you're in neighborhoods late at night where cabs are hard to find.

The biggest thing is it will force cab companies to get their shite together. Put out apps, clean their cabs, hire better drivers, have their credit card machines "work".

The cab system in Houston does it right. They have a great app.

I signed the petition AND wrote a short essay to the city council.

Probably the most politically active I've been my entire life. This is it though, I do no more than that.

If you aren't in favor of Uber/Lyft/Sidecar, you aren't in favor of America.

Nerdy rape is still rape.

I probably would too if the cabs here didn't refuse rides ALL THE TIME. They really brought it on themselves with that.

I feel like we get a "Nola is voting on uber today" thread once a week.

How many times are they going to vote on this?
