Minneapolis city council passes $15.57/hour minimum wage for ride-hailing drivers, prompting Uber and Lyft to cease operations from May 1st.
Minneapolis city council passed a measure requiring ride-hailing services, including Uber and Lyft, to increase driver wages to the local minimum wage of $15.57/hour. In response, both companies announced they will cease operations in the city from May 1st, stating the ordinance is unsustainable. Uber and Lyft plan to advocate for statewide legislation to counter the Minneapolis ordinance, while state House Republicans have proposed a bill that would preempt local regulations of ride-hailing services.
