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, 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.

      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.

          What do you mean “news”?

          We’re talking about the company’s reputation.

          you doughnut.

          So sad when people like you think you’re smart.
