6. Ridesharing is a new service that threatens the taxi business. It connects drivers and customers through apps in our smartphones. Essentially, it is the same thing as a taxi, but it is able to bypass lots of the rules and regulations that actual taxes can't. Ridesharing supports businesses like Uber and Lyft. They have been operating since May, even though technically it's not legal in county limits. More than 50 citations have been issued to drivers without chauffeuring permit and a taxi franchise agreement. It is a growing problem in the Austin area because the city council recently held a meeting and were making movements to legalize ridesharing. Taxi drivers everywhere are against this because they say it is unfair for drivers of ridesharing to be able to bypass the rules they are unable to do.
