If Uber and Lfyte want to go into the Anchorage market they must follow same rules

If Uber and Lftye want to come into the Anchorage they need to follow the same rules and regulations that the Anchorage Cab drivers and permit owners operate.  They must have a dispatch center in Anchorage which Uber and Lftye want to come in and set up an office.  They must make sure there cars are marked and each car and driver is insurance that it is on file at the Transportation Inspectors Office.  They must have a stable pricing structure not a flexible pricing structure.  This will not make Anchorage customers happy if they have to pay $93 to go from Muldoon to Anchorage Airport.  When they can take a regular cab and pay $35-45 depend on traffic.  Raise the price due to high demand this will not sit well with consumers.  Uber and Lftye have had numerous complaints to the Better Business Bureau about their pricing structure.  Having unmarked cars pick you up sounds fishy.  If the vehicle is marked if a cab driving speeds threw a neighbor they have a number to call.  Taxi drivers should be required to bath regularly and look professional which most current Anchorage cab driver wear street clothes not look professionally.  Uber and Lftye require there cab drivers to look and act professionally.  All cab driver should look professional.  Uber and Lftye will say they are not cabs they are a ride sharing service.  Any mode of service that charge customers to get from one destination to another is considered a taxi.  Uber and Lftye are no different.
