(D.C. Taxicab Commission)

Continuing to take the proverb “if you can’t beat them, join them” to heart, the D.C. Taxicab Commission announced today that it is partnering with a delivery service to ferry around lunch orders.

After years of fighting ride-hailing services like Lyft and Uber, the commission has generally moved on to trying to emulate them, creating a similar app to hail cabs and mulling their own system of vehicles-for-hire called Xclass.

Now it’s also fulfilling lunch orders placed through the website delivery.com. “By leveraging available capacity in public vehicles-for-hire, licensed drivers have another source of revenue and the District continues to support innovative solutions to satisfy public demands,” DCTC Chairman Ernest Chrappah said in a statement.

Eventually taxis will also deliver meals and other items outside of lunch hours through delivery.com, which includes categories for alcohol, groceries, and laundry services.
