SF to require Lyft, Uber drivers to obtain business licenses (sfgate.com) 7 points by tasteup 10y ago ↗ HN
[–] pink_dinner 10y ago ↗ Does that mean a driver can also be protected from liabilitu through an LLC?
[–] jacalata 10y ago ↗ Wow, some hidden surprises here.- they argue that they are not newly requiring this, just newly gained the ability to enforce, and so will enforce it for previous years as well- Uber is falling back on the whole independent contractor angle: not our employees, not our licensing problem- Lyft says they have issues with publicising driver information, but it isn't clear to me where this is made public. [–] mc32 10y ago ↗ The city got the companies to provide information on all the drivers who operate in SF, presumably the city publishes holders of these business licenses.
