Quote of the Day
“But a travel agent isn't a provider of transportation," said Michele Maryott, a member of Uber's legal team. "A travel agent is an intermediary between those who want a service and those who have a service to provide.”
Uber and Lyft defended their business model before a Suffolk Superior Court judge on Monday, pitching themselves as technology companies that facilitate easier transportation, not outright transportation providers.
