City Councilman Jacob Frey and other council members are currently working on an ordinance to address cab concerns while legalizing Uber X and Lyft. "We want to get as much public debate as possible," Frey said. "We don't want to ram it down anyone's throat." Minneapolis will hold a public hearing on April 29 to discuss the issue, and they may have a draft ordinance finished by Friday. An Uber spokesperson said more choice is good for customers and added that Taxi drivers are always welcome to become Uber drivers if they can afford a decent car.
