Uber Collects Online Signatures To Battle Regulatory Shutdown In Chicago

In its effort to challenge proposed regulations that would lead to the shutdown of its black car service in Chicago, Uber is trying recruit supporters via online petition at Change.org. The petition, which you can read (and if you're so inclined, sign) here, is titled: "Chicago BACP: Don't Kill Uber! Remove the No Measured Rates Provision." The problems, according to both the petition and earlier statements from the company, ?lie in sections that prohibit limo companies from using electronic measurement devices and the use of time- or distance-based charges. Uber's argument: Limo companies in Chicago already charge this way, they're just doing it with less precision. So the petition is asking for Chicago regulators to drop the rules.
