Gainesville Council scraps regulation of taxis
State now overseeing industry
Placeholder Image
Gainesville City Council voted Tuesday to scrap its ordinance regulating taxicabs in its entirety after state lawmakers this year removed local oversight of the industry. A second and final vote will take place at the first council meeting in November. The emergence of rideshare services like Uber and Lyft, in part, prompted the state to step in.
