Taxi cabs in South Lake Tahoe now on more level playing field with rideshares

For months the operators of taxicabs in South Lake Tahoe have said the regulations they have to abide by when operating in the City limits were unfair since app-based rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft didn't have to follow the same controls.
After Tuesday's City Council meeting, the cabs and rideshares will now be on a more level playing field with less regulation.
The "cabbies" at the meeting all left happy with the 5-0 vote of the Council to reduce the number of regulations they once had to abide by, and with a new ordinance created through group meetings with both sides.
