THE STATE PUBLIC REGULATION COMMISSION ON WEDNESDAY IS EXPECTED TO DECIDE IF RIDE SHARING COMPANIES LIKE UBER AND LYFT SHOULD END OPERATIONS IN NEW MEXICO. OUTDATED STATE RULES HAVE OFFICIALS STUMPED AS TO HOW TO DEAL WITH SUCH BUSINESSES … WHICH HAVE TAKEN OFF NOT ONLY IN NEW MEXICO BUT OTHER STATES.
CHANNEL 13 NEWS REPORTS TRADITIONAL TAXI COMPANIES HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS ABOUT RIDE BOOKING SERVICES THAT GIVE THEM STIFF COMPETITION. THE PRC LAST YEAR ORDERED LYFT OPERATIONS IN ALBUQUERQUE TO CEASE … BUT IT CONTINUED TO OPERATE AFTER A JUDGE IN SANTA FE REFUSED TO ENFORCE THE PRC’S CEASE-AND-DESIST ORDER.
