Trend Spotting. Ride Share. New Never Seen Before Requirements on Ride Share.

An alderman in Chicago wants to impose the following requirements on ride share in the Windy City:

  •  illuminated signs “visible from 50 feet away” for each driver/vehicle
  • pick-up only from side streets instead of major thoroughfares, just like taxis do

The policy reasons: to make it easier for police to identify ride sahre drivers

The cost of illuminated signs: $80
