The city had blamed Uber for slowing traffic in Manhattan and proposed a 1 percent cap on the growth of Uber and other ride hailing services.</p><p> Uber shot back with a spoof “de Blasio” mode in its app that displayed the message “No cars available” when a user looked for a ride in New York City. It was meant to show how hard it would be to get rides in the city under the mayor’s proposed plan.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2951892/web-social/new-york-city-eases-limits-on-ubers-growth.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: New York City eases limits on Uber's growth (http://www.macworld.com/article/2951892/web-social/new-york-city-eases-limits-on-ubers-growth.html#tk.rss_all) |
