Uber has been critical of the city’s approach, arguing that Seattle’s handling of the ordinance has been sluggish, offering little guidance and clarity as the implementation date approaches. As the new year approaches, Uber continues to express frustration with the city’s lack of answers regarding how the ordinance will affect its operations.
