IllegalCab.org Has Sights Set on Uber and Lyft: Wants to End Illegal Cabs



With Uber and Lyft coming to Orlando recently, the topic of ridesharing is hot right now. A group called Illegalcab.org (Website | Facebook | Twitter) is a coalition that organizes cities, individuals, and transportation professionals to end illegal cabs. They have an interactive map showing news stories about Uber and Lyft. 

According to the site, Uber admits illegality of "ride-sharing" on CNN and Tech Crunch. 

The site claims that illegal cab operators co-opted the term ridesharing, when in fact it does not apply. The US Department of Transportation says that “ride sharing is the alternative to driving to work alone (e.g. Carpooling)."
