Up Close: NYC and the Uber battle

The heated battle between Mayor Bill de Blasio and Uber ended this week in a deal -- a proposal to limit the number of new-for-hire cars was put off for four months.

New York City Deputy Mayor Anthony Shorris said going into the debate with Uber, of the policy issues driving the city, the biggest was congestion.

"There's been a tremendous increase in the number of vehicles coming in through Uber and other services like it that are affecting the core of Manhattan in particular, and other areas where there's been congestion," said Shorris.

He also cited the rights of the disabled. "Taxis are 50 percent accessible. These vehicles are not, so we need to make sure the rights of those folks are protected," said Shorris. "We have concerns about drivers and passengers rights and how they're protected."

"We said we'd at least enter into conversations with them, with our partners at the council, to see if there were ways to address our concerns -- congestion, accessibility, the MTA, protection of passengers and drivers," said Shorris. "That's what's gonna be studied over the next four months with that cap still on the table if the city is unsatisfied.

He said the city has asked for new data and Uber has agreed to provide it during the study.
