Top notch journalism here...I guess this means it's open to the public?
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin are set to be Uber's first riders in West Virginia.
The governor's office says Tomblin and Manchin are scheduled to take a short trip by Uber from the Capitol Market in Charleston to the state Capitol building on Tuesday.
A new law allowed companies like Uber and Lyft to start offering rides in the state on July 1. West Virginia joined the scores of states that allow the ride-booking, phone app-based services.
Companies offering the services must comply with nondiscrimination laws.
The law requires a Division of Motor Vehicles permit, car insurance, underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage, a zero tolerance drug and alcohol policy, and driver background checks.
Morgantown also has been mentioned as a likely location for ride-booking companies.
