Boston taxi drivers are calling for city agencies to pull ride-hailing app Uber's cars from city streets until they are regulated, and are planning to rally outside Uber's Hub office today.
"It's about leveling the playing field," said Donna Blythe-Shaw, a Boston Taxi Drivers Association representative. "We have an industry in chaos."
Uber drivers, who are not regulated by the Boston Police Hackney Unit and do not require taxi medallions, are undercutting taxi drivers with lower prices, said Blythe-Shaw.
"The city of Boston is committed to hearing all sides of the issue, and will work to find a solution that balances the needs of all those involved," said Kate Norton, a spokeswoman for Mayor Martin J. Walsh.
Police Commissioner William B. Evans and Walsh have been working to find a solution to "strike a balance," said Boston police spokesman Sgt. Michael McCarthy.
Uber, which connects riders to contracted drivers through a smartphone app, did not respond to requests for comment. The San Francisco startup has fought regulatory battles in cities across the country and in Europe.
