Uber, Lyft Back In Austin

Ridesharing services Uber and Lyft are back in Austin, after House Bill 100 was signed by Governor Greg Abbott on Monday. The deal comes a year after both Uber and Lyft pulled out of Austin after the failure of Prop 1, in a battle with the Austin City Council. House Bill 100 overrides the city's efforts to require fingerprinting and background checks on ridesharing drivers.
