Adler and crew said they expected Uber+Lyft to continue operating in spite of the law. Weird.
Most of the things I cite were done after the Prop 1 vote. U+L screwed that up.. the City's behavior since has been ridiculous.

There were a few other regulations.
One of them included that TNCs can't stop in the middle of a busy road when picking up a rider. This is one thing I'm really glad got implemented because people have been seriously injured and killed[0] because TNCs stop in the middle of busy roads.

Uber and Lyft chose to leave Austin. You can argue endlessly why they were forced out, but somehow other services managed to pop up and make the business work.
