Lyft and Uber said they will cease operations in Minneapolis after the city’s council voted Thursday to override a mayoral veto and require that ride-hailing services increase driver wages to the equivalent of the local minimum wage of $15.57 an hour.
Lyft called the ordinance “deeply flawed,” saying in a statement that it supports a minimum earning standard for drivers but not the one passed by the council.
Yeah I will say that while I’m in full support of light rail just like you it is one of the most difficult projects a city can undertake and there are a lot of ways it can overrun on cost and compromise too much to be effective
