”A traffic congestion mitigation tax on fares charged to riders of transportation services like Uber and Lyft is heading to the November ballot. All 11 board members support the tax measure, as do Lyft and Uber, and the tax, most of which will be passed on to riders, will generate roughly $30 million a year. The proposed taxes would be less for shared rides, and they wouldn’t go into effect until 2020. In other news, SF Town Taxi is reportedly in dissolution talks with the city after more than 20 years in the business. Whereas some say the company’s closure is a result of Uber and Lyft, others blame SFMTA’s airport priority plan. - SF EXAMINER”
Move to IN. It’s awesome here.
Or AL. It’s even better there.
Name a single brand name tech company located in IN or AL?
I like it. Nothing wrong with more taxes. So All these trump supporters need to go to Texas to save tax .. haha
Paying taxes is not a virtue
Ok dumbass
When companies support taxes and regulations, it is because it will hurt future competition more than it will them.
“Most will be passed on to riders.” Lol. Why wouldn’t all of it? Where else is the money going? Lyft and Uber supporting it is classic crony capitalism where it raises barrier to entry for future competitors who haven’t yet reached scale.
Stop voting blue!
