On August 5, 2016, Governor Charlie Baker signed into law Massachusetts' first statewide regulations on ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft. The law was a monumental victory for the ride-sharing companies given that a few years earlier state officials tried to ban the startups from doing business in Massachusetts. The outcome was a major defeat for the taxi industry, whose drivers and license holders argued that their livelihoods were severely threatened by this new competition. They also believed that the competition was unfair and not in the public's best interest because taxi drivers and vehicles still had to meet stricter safety- and security-standards than ride-sharing services.
