KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Uber and Lyft have expressed different reactions to new regulations for ride sharing services proposed by Kansas City.

The Kansas City Star (http://bit.ly/1Ba8ROL ) reports that the city proposed new regulations Thursday that would lower permit fees for individual drivers to $250. Drivers would also have to submit proof of state vehicle. The proposal also gives ride sharing companies the option to pay an annual fee of $10,000, which would drop the driver permit fees to $150.

A spokeswoman for Uber said in an emailed statement that the proposed regulations show that the city does not fully understand how the ride sharing industry works. A lawyer, who has been negotiating with the city on behalf of Lyft, said that the proposal is not perfect, but “it’s certainly closer to what we have in mind. . It’s moving in the right direction.”

“The Kansas City ordinance remains full of unworkable provisions that reflect a misunderstanding of how the ridesharing industry works,” Uber spokeswoman Jaime Moore said in a statement. “Applying taxi-like regulations to UberX will prevent drivers from meeting the skyrocketing demand for rides in Kansas City.”

City Manager Troy Schulte says that the city has compromised as much as it can.

Uber has continued to operate in Kansas, but Lyft suspended its operations in October of last year.

The City Council will debate the proposed regulations next week.
