In an effort to compete with Uber and other ride sharing companies such as Lyft, a New York City council member recently has introduced legislation for New York cab companies to have access to a app of their own. Council Member Ben Kallos said in a statement, “New York City must support our tech sector: Instead of making new technologies illegal, or regulating them out of business, we should provide a level playing field with fair competition so that companies, drivers and riders all win.”
