A New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission judge has
rejected Uber's appeal of an order issued two weeks ago suspending its base
licenses. The car service must now turn over data on all trips for its 12,700 car fleet, the Daily News reports.
But just as the original order never went into effect -- the
TLC immediately stayed it when Uber said it would appeal-- Uber says that the
suspensions will somehow have no effect on its operations. The company is
expected to petition TLC chairwoman Meera Joshi to set aside the order.
A TLC judge suspended five of Uber’s six bases in New York
City after on January 7. Unlike taxi drivers who are made to serve their
suspensions immediately, Uber was allowed to operate with a temporary license
pending the appeal. Now, Uber may still operate by resort to its sixth base.
All of Uber's bases are virtual in any event-- that is, none of Uber's cars
ever have to park there, or even visit.
