Uber and other ride-sharing platforms have been handed a major victory after Queens Supreme Court Justice Allan Weiss threw out a legal challenge to ride-sharing companies’ freedom to be hailed from apps.That's gonna hurt. Comrade Mayor de Blasio has already given up.
Four credit unions with significant financial interests in yellow cab medallions argued that app-based services such as Uber are more akin to street private-hire vehicles, that can only pick up pre-booked passengers, but the app enables them to act like a street hail service.
However, Weiss rejected the arguments, saying that Uber was not breaking any regulations or infringing on the yellow cabs exclusive right to pick up street hails. The judge delivered a strongly worded response explaining some basic economics to the plaintiffs.
