May be kiss of death for his Uber gig

Now taxi regulators want an Uber driver to kiss off.

Taxi and Limousine Commission officials said Wednesday that they want to revoke Ahmed Elbotari’s license for pulling over and booting out Manhattan residents Alex Iovine and Emma Pichl when they smooched in his backseat. His license was suspended Tuesday after the Daily News published a video, which went viral, of Elbotari telling the couple to leave his car on Saturday.

Commission spokesman Allan Fromberg said the agency will seek the revocation and charge Elbotari with threat, harassment and abuse, along with refusal to provide service based on sexual orientation. The TLC plans to prosecute the case in the city’s Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings, and filed a petition Wednesday.

“This driver’s actions, if proven, were repugnant and will not be tolerated in this industry or in the city,” Fromberg said.

Iovine, 26, an advertising technology consultant, said she and Pichl, 24, a senior recruiter, hailed the car to go from a birthday party at the bar Pig Beach, in Brooklyn, to another friend’s birthday party in the East Village at about 5 p.m.

Iovine said she and Pichl were sitting on opposite sides of the car when they leaned into the center for a peck. Elbotari pulled the car over on Canal St., just over the Manhattan Bridge.

“He yelled at us for being disrespectful and inappropriate because we pecked on the lips,” Iovine said.

The video shows the couple and the driver arguing.

“Why are we not allowed to kiss in an Uber?” Iovine asks.

“It’s disrespectful,” the livery driver says in the video.

Elbotari, 35, told the Daily News Monday that it was more than kissing. He complained that the women were being loud.
