Shannyn, Don't know if you've ever traveled outside of Alaska-- but I travel for a living. I'm a frequent Uber and Lyft user. I have to say that my worst experience with either of these ride sharing services is better than my best taxi cab experience. Uber and Lyft are a great examples of how things can function extremely well without having government wasting time and resources trying to regulate ands set up monopolies for problems that don't exist.
