Seattle Just Became the First City to Cap the Number of UberX and Lyft Drivers on the Road
Each service will be limited to 150 drivers at any given time.
Yesterday afternoon, the Seattle City Council unanimously voted to limit the capacity of uberX, Lyft, SideCar, and other on-demand transportation services in the city.
The new regulation caps the number of drivers at 150 for each service at any given time. The Council will also require those services to meet state insurance rules already imposed on traditional taxis - both Uber and Lyft are currently on track to do so.
