> The Metropolitan Taxicab Commission (MTC) will vote on code changes tomorrow, July 22nd at 10am that include harmful regulations, such as requiring a minimum fare of $25 for all Black Car trips. St. Louis is the largest city in the U.S. that does not provide residents and visitors access to transportation options such as Uber. Imposing fare minimums and other protectionist regulations driven by the taxi industry are the reason why.
> 
> Uber has been working with the MTC for months to help craft regulations that encourage safety, consumer choice, competition, and innovation. A few outdated regulations are being addressed, however, the MTC is proposing additional regulations that are protectionist in nature and will further prevent us from operating. These anti-competitive regulations, including a $25 minimum fare for UberBLACK, will be voted on tomorrow.
