Here We Go Again: DC Taxi Head Says Uber Is Operating Illegally, To Be Dealt With

lintonrUber is once again getting attacked by a crusty local bureaucracy, this time in the federal capital of crusty bureaucracies -- and its newest city -- Washington, DC.In case you don't remember, the first attack was back in 2010, when San Francisco's city transportation agency threatened the private car company's executives with jail time and fines because it was operating an alternative transportation service. The differences got worked out, but Uber's expansion into new cities means it's running into more of these types.The antagonist now is DC'snotoriouslyshady Taxi Commission. Its head, Ron Linton, made an offhanded claim during a public hearing today that Uber "is operating illegally, and we plan to take steps against them."
