Uber stays: The public in Broward County spoke and the political class listened

The Sun Sentinel editorial board chimes in about Uber in Broward County:

     Call it a classic example of the public actually having a voice in public policy.
Yes, Uber is apparently heading back to Broward County soon, which is very good news for those who like the convenience, pricing, cleanliness and overall efficiency of the ride-hailing service.
     Broward County commissioners late Tuesday said they will soften the regulations that caused Uber to leave the county at the end of July. The rules will be changed, the regulations will be eased, because the public spoke loud and clear that they wanted the option of using Uber. [emphasis added]

[and. . .]

     Yes, Uber as a company can be arrogant, and they don't like a lot of the rules that cover traditional taxis. But the public obviously liked the fact Uber was cleaner, often cheaper, and more convenient than traditional taxis.
     It's called competition. And it's giving the public something they want. The business community wants it, tourists want it, and it is even used by some parents who let their schoolkids use the app if they can't be picked up after classes.
