Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis after city council forces them to pay drivers more
apnews.com
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.

Lyft’s reputation as a company is slightly less bad than Uber’s …
Yeah, on the rare occasion where I need to take a ride-share, I go for Lyft over Uber just because they are the lesser evil, not because they are better.
Fun thing- the drivers in this town have both Uber and Lyft stickers on their cars.
the lesser evil is just evil
Never said they weren't evil. All I said is that if those are the only options I have, I choose one over the other.
What a clown take.
You should go for whoever gives you the better deal, lol.
Really? I recall a South Park episode showing the exact opposite, lol.
Also, all of my friends use Uber EXCEPT one who uses Lyft because their job gives them a better deal.
Stob believing South Park you doughnut.
Jesus Christ ppl think South Park is news now???
We're fucked
What do you mean "news"?
We're talking about the company's reputation.
So sad when people like you think you're smart.
