City of Laredo issues cease and desist letter to Lyft
The City of Laredo said late Thursday it has issued a cease and desist letter to the ridesharing company Lyft, which began to offer its services in the Gateway City on Thursday.
City officials said the letter was issued because Lyft drivers are “found to be operating illegally.”
“While it is a positive move on behalf of Lyft to have already selected Laredo as a market that they want to expand to, we are still working on our regulations,” said Robert Eads, assistant city manager, in a statement. “And until these issues are worked out and approved by the City Council, they must stop operating immediately.
“Our hope and goal is to have them and other (transportation network companies) work with us as a municipality.”
