HEAVY HANDED: New York's Mayor seems determined to drive Uber out of his city.

NEW YORK: New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said he wants to put brakes on Uber’s growth “as quickly as possible,” amid an increasingly heated feud with the online ride-booking service. 

The New York City Council could vote this week to impose severe restrictions on Uber, limiting its expansion to 1% in the coming year to allow time to study the impact of the car service on traffic and pollution.
