Hello zealot,
Due to the efforts of you and your fellow citizens, council members have gotten hundreds of tweets, emails, and phone calls saying that you want Uber with no price controls!
However, we need to keep the momentum going to reach our goal. Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 24th at 10am, the New Orleans City Council Transportation Committee will discuss these proposed changes. We want your voice to continue to be heard.
It is an open meeting and there will be a comment period so if you are available and want to speak or show your support through your presence, we would encourage you to come on down. We will be handing out stickers and key chains as well to help you show your support.

Uber has its way with cities. When Uber decides it truly wants NOLA, it'll have it.

I just got an email from Uber this week.

We just dropped uberX fares by 25%, making it 51% cheaper than a taxi... uberX is the most affordable ride on the road.

There should be no minimum pricing...hoping a lot of people go tomorrow. Not sure if I'll be able to make it but I'll continue to floor their inboxes.

What if I ask them for a ride to the gas station across the street from the airport?

Uber is the tits!

Anyone on here going tomorrow? I would love an in-game thread to follow on this.
We have Uber here and it is awesome. They even just began Water Uber and a boat will bring people around for $10 each. Yet NOLA wants to charge a minimum of 3x that for a car. Such a great city with such a stupid mentality for growth.

New Orleans is in a boom and they want to go back to their petty politics instead of bringing competition in to make the place better. I find that Uber is usually a bit more but I will pay for the better quality. Maybe they should do something about their cab service that is so shitty people will pay these prices.

So what happens when all the cab drivers in the city want to join Uber or related company to charge $25 minimums?
I know something like that is not likely, but couldn't every cab driver leave and then the city ends up with $25 minimum for everything?

New Orleans as a tourism town needs to have something like Uber without outrageous restrictions. Let's see how strong the taxi mob is in the Big Easy.

This minimum is uber only?
Cab rides would stay the same?

Talk about an industry with a lot on their plate. Uber and electric cars will have them on the ropes in no time
