Yes. Combined with the lack of efficient public transportation, this does nothing but literally “drive” tourism away from Broward County. Cabs in this city notoriously suck — not just to locals but to every repeat visitor to Fort Lauderdale, that I personally know of.

Don’t leave please! We need it here. No bus, and when we need a cab the waiting time is almost one hour.
Edna M Armini
Yes, I will definitely miss them. Bad move to run them out of town.
Kristina Marie
The taxi driver’s should go right along with them.
Connie Kepke
The taxi cabs are disgusting — we want Uber!
Pedro J Larrea
We need Uber. Our city is a joke!
Lorraine Brennan O’Neil
Having waited on some days for over an hour for a taxi, especially on a weekend, the county needs Uber.

We need Uber. Lazaro Fernandez
It’s clear that Uber satisfied a huge user demand. Local officials need to understand that customers want friendly, convenient and cost-effective alternatives to cab drivers. Local citizens need to still apply pressure.
Greg Bromberg
Yes, we need this. Let’s figure it out, please.

Goodbye Uber.
Rich Kelley
Some reached negotiationswhere it would should’vehave been been a win/ win for everyone.
Ken Loring
Time to use Lyft.
David Scott
Never had a problem with it, unlike the cab companies.
Gunther Schenk
This irritates me. Now we’ll have to pay twice as much to take a regular cab.
Lisa Fisher
Nope. Never used it.
Carl Frodge
Uber helps keep drunken drivers off the road. Dose Broward County support drunken driving?
James Eckert
What a joke. Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties can come up with a solution but Broward can’t. Awful.
Alex Kapetan
No! Do you know Uber to the airport cost me $22. The cab ride back cost us $35. Not happy
Annabel Bird
This is ridiculous, and as a citizen of the county I highly disagree with this decision. Cabs are so expensive in South Florida, and the public transportation system is a joke. Innovative disruption such as Uber is good for the economy.
Amanda Jorgensen
Please keep Uber! Taxis down here are an unacceptable means of transportation.
Lisa Willoughby
Visited Fort Lauderdale earlier this year. Cab ride from airport was $22. Uber ride back to airport was $8. How about let consumers decide what they’d like to use?
Brian Myrick
Much better to have people drink and drive. Great job Broward!
Julie Block Biederman
Use Lyft, same as Uber.
David Deluci
Once again, Broward County demonstrates how backward-thinking they can be. Another example of why other South Florida cities are growing more than Fort Lauderdale.
Phil Cordell
Uber is so much better than cabs; wish it would stay!
Lynn Nichols Mathis
Uber unhappy.
Charlie Monaco
People of Broward need to get taxi industry where it hurts, especially at the airports. They need us more we need them, plus Uber shouldn’t wuss out because the battle has begun as far as I’m concerned. Mercantilism is anti-free market.

You can judge the level of corruption in a government by how much they fight innovative entrepreneurs. If it’s not unionized, then there’s no way for kickbacks.
J.T. Grice
Crazy, always backward and upside-down Broward County. Making decisions worthy of 1975, not 2015.
John Timothy O’Connor
You can tell how corrupt a city is by how hard they fight Uber
Shawn Weaver
This is ridiculous! They could have agreed on something reasonable.
Taneshia Mays
Uber 100%. Friendly drivers, cheap rates, always on time. Very clean cars. Excellent service.
Karlitos Way
Very bad news for consumers!
