Topics
Uber and Lyft are warring with cab companies in every major city and the controversy is heating up in Boston. Are Lyft and Uber skirting regulations and is this related to the safety issues that have arisen with these services? Or are the taxi companies simply crying foul because their business model is outdated? In this conversation on a pivotal local issue, we talk about what's fair to the companies when the rules of the road change, and what's best for Bostonians on the move.
