Uber needs to bring to town their BEST public speaker and the most qualified EXPERT to these corrupt NOLA meetings. not hating on the current Uber GM, this is a really tough job to do being grilled in front of a camera with questions that are for the most part, ignorant and stupid.

City Council Member Guidry:

quote:

Such a complex issue, for those who have been researching, we are finding that the issue is very complex. what we have is an industry that has chosen to disregard the law completely and to roll into cities wherever it wants to grow in….when you say we are behind the rest of the country, I don't agree with that.


Give me a fricking break….what a clown.

More quotes from Council Member Guidry: (sorry for typos was trying to keep up with her speaking)

quote:

Why do you want to regulate that? When you step into someone's car you are at their mercy. It's public transportation so we are compelled to make sure the insurance is there, the driver is not a criminal and the vehicle is in good condition. This is what we have to do to protect people's safety. The Uber Black model can do that.

Then there's UberX where anyone and his brother can apply to be a driver using their own personal car. And as a rule, that service UNDERCUTS the rates of our taxi service. And that is the service there has been trouble with. They don't register with their city. They get vehicle and background checks with Uber. And we have cases all over the country that this doesn't work well. The driver has a serious criminal past. They don't do the same background check we do. UberX is not something I want to ride around DC in. But this is something my college daughter would hop right in. I'm sure they must be good. No, that's not the situation. THe problem is when uberx is allowed in that app is allowed into the city, so you can press uberx and get a car totally against the law. So it's really important to understand what we are legislating for.

What are we doing about the possibility of letting UberX in?

If all the cars have to be inspected through the city...

The taxi inspection thing is already a complete joke. The only station is in the East and has horrible hours. Also drivers pretty much sleep overnight out there just to hopefully get an inspection that day.

Exactly. It is one of the least productive and most corrupt entities in the city. Fck them and anyone on the council defending this "industry" they are trying to protect.

The regulated "industry" fought like crazy and whined non-stop for months last year when they were forced to start accepting credit cards, possibly get GPS devices, and not allowed to drive piece of shite stinking cars with no A/C.
