Letters to the editor: Opinions flying fast on NYC Uber, Lyft vehicle cap proposal
As the leading voice of Brooklyn’s business community, we applaud efforts to seek solutions for traffic and transportation issues across the city. We realize the success of promoting Brooklyn as a world-class destination for tourism, attractions, and events depends on equal access to a steady supply of transportation alternatives, which the for-hire vehicle industry offers.
The for-hire vehicle system supports entrepreneurship, which is crucial to economic development in our city, and New Yorkers agree. In our 2016 issues survey, 80 percent of respondents either supported or strongly supported the prospect of expanding the use of app-based ride-sharing platforms across the state.
