House Bill 1084, which seeks to transfer and centralize authorization, supervision and regulation of public transportation, including taxis and UBER drivers, to the Public Service Commission should be approved this week, House Government Committee Chair Rep. Jorge Navarro said.
Members of the Puerto Rico Tourist Taxis Association on Monday expressed their support of House Bill 1084, which proposes adopting a law to centralize oversight and regulation of public transportation at the Public Service Commission.
A bill that seeks to establish public policy and regulate the operation of mobile application-based transportation network companies, such as San Francisco’s Uber, was struck down Monday on the Senate floor in a 13-11 vote.
