California Passenger Carriers Very Unhappy With CPUC Ruling on Ridesharing
San Francisco limousine services, black car services and other luxury transportation providers, as well as those outside the Bay Area, are very unhappy with a recent ruling by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regarding what has been called “ridesharing.” The ruling allows private companies such as Uber, Lyft, Sidecar and others to operate outside the rules and regulations established for passenger carriers like us. These regulations, licensing requirements, insurance mandates and other rules are in place to ensure passenger safety and provide protection for passengers in the event of an accident.
