Saratoga Springs Mayor Kim issues warning about unregistered passenger services

As tourists make their way to the spa city for summer concerts and horse-racing – the Saratoga Springs mayor is warning about a rise in issues with ridesharing, mainly Uber and Lyft.

The city council sent out a warning Tuesday alerting people to check for the difference between registered, licensed passenger services and unregistered passenger services.
Mayor Ron Kim put out a statement, saying, “we have recently become aware of unlicensed, fake Uber and Lyft drivers picking up passengers from popular locations within the city. We strongly urge visitors and residents to verify the status of any vehicle they use.”
