A new state report said ride services haven’t hurt taxi businesses across Nebraska.
An estimated 500 people drove for either Uber or Lyft — the only two carriers authorized in the state — last year, with most in Omaha or Lincoln, the Omaha World-Herald reported.
The Nebraska Public Service Commission issued the report as part of its regulation of ride-hailing and cab companies. The state passed a bill in 2015 legalizing ride services, and gave the commission authority to license and regulate them.
