"However, the commission concluded that "the undisputed facts and circumstances in this case make it clear that Uber is engaged in the public transportation of persons for hire." It found Uber does not only provide information between drivers and passengers, but uses its technology to operate a fleet of vehicles, set rates, collect fares and pay drivers."
So essentially the difference between something like this and Lyft is the fact that Uber has their own fleet of vehicles? I know the court hasn't made a ruling regarding Lyft (yet), but it will be interesting to see how they are interpreted. They offer a very similar service, but I wonder if this difference will allow them to avoid a similar ruling.
