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.

Oh good. Maybe a regional competitor can get a hold then. It's not exactly a small market.

It's also for this reason I don't think Lyft and Uber would actually leave.

They will leave.

They have left countries all together because of this.
