Uber gets an OK in London, but in Pittsburgh the service is stopped

Uber scored a victory in its battles with regulators and taxi unions yesterday, winning a favorable decision from London's transit agency allowing it to continue operations legally in the city.

Transport for London, known as TfL, rejected claims from the city's taxi drivers that Uber's smartphone app violated prohibitions on anyone other than licensed black-car drivers using "taximeter" technology. TfL concluded that smartphones running Uber's app are "not taximeters within the meaning of the legislation."

But in Pittsburgh, judges hit Uber (along with competitor Lyft) with a cease-and-desist order, stopping them from operating until they get the proper authority from the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.

Hospitals may get outpatient boost

The Obama administration proposed raising Medicare payments to hospitals for care they provide on an outpatient basis, part of a trend toward discouraging unnecessary admissions.

Payments for outpatient services would be increased 2.1 percent under a proposal yesterday from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Medicare, the health program for the elderly and disabled, paid about $37 billion in 2013 for outpatient treatment at hospitals and $139 billion for admissions.
