Anderseen & Horowitz =power player in the valley- passed on the 2nd round. they said too 'volatile' and nothing stops another company competing with a subscription (netflix like) based model instead of the 20%-28% commission.

Hopefully as more and more of these issues come out, there will be more actions taken because right now it seems like nothing will be getting done anytime soon.

They are so called tech companies. But , they are involved every aspect of the transportation and traffic matters. Since their partner drivers are users of the city infrastructure , they are the one who should be entitled to attend these meetings. But, they can't because of the insurance fraud they are committing. Why even city official allowing Uber and Lyft to attend these meetings? For 5 years , they have been stealing money directly . No body is stopping them. This is highway robbery at gun point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
