It seems like several lawmakers had opinions about the failure of the Uber bill. They discussed it in a meeting Monday.

I don't understand why this is a state issue to start with.

It's West Virginia. Everything is an issue for the State.

I just found out the hard way. I was hired to drive for Uber in the Morgantown area. After spending weeks getting back ground checks servicing my vehicle and buying a compatible phone to run their app. Then spending 2 days trying to get riders I found out no one could book one. Now finding out the state is keeping me from working is even more upsetting. I have a disability and this job opportunity was ideal for me.

I used Uber in November while in Las Vegas. They were great. Less than five minutes wait time and car was always clean. Cheaper than a taxi as well.

I looked at Uber last week while in Raleigh, NC and it looked like there were several close our hotel. The next morning when I needed one, there was no service available. It was weird to me.

I will read the article posted but I do not understand not allowing Uber.

West Virginia Uber Petition

HB 4228 will give Uber in WV another go. Its set for a 3rd reading tomorrow which would ultimately go to a vote before it possibly crosses over to the Senate. We'll see what happens.

34-0 vote in the Senate. It heads to Tomblin for a signature, which he'll do. Welcome to WV, Uber (finally)! You, too, Lyft (technically).
