East Hampton Bans Uber

New rules in East Hampton have forced Uber out of the town, where the in crowd parties every summe, reports NyPo.

The town’s taxi-licensing law requires taxi companies to have a physical business address in town. That means according to Uber that “New rules would require every single Uber driver-partner to have an office in East Hampton to continue to hold their license."

Since Memorial Day, 20 Uber drivers have been slapped with misdemeanors for failing to comply with the ordinance, the company said.

Uber has stopped servicing the town as of Friday.
