Uber Now Officially Legal in DC

Rejoice, Uber underground! Now you no longer have to skulk out of sight of the law, scurrying from luxury app-dispatched sedan to luxury app-dispatched sedan to get around the District, because the D.C. Council voted unanimously today to make Uber legal.

While no one was actually operating an Uber sedan surreptitiously despite a January sting by the D.C. Taxi Cab Commission, the Public Vehicle-for-Hire Innovation Amendment Act passed today cements Uber's operation by adding language for electronically dispatched cars.
