"Minneapolis Faces Rideshare Exodus as Uber and Lyft Depart Over Pay Rules"
TL;DR
Uber and Lyft are set to leave Minneapolis after the city council passed an ordinance guaranteeing drivers a minimum rate, which the companies deem "deeply flawed." The ordinance, set to take effect on May 1st, was vetoed by the mayor but later overridden by the council. Both companies argue that the rates were determined without considering a state study on drivers' earnings. The move will leave 10,000 drivers without work, raising concerns about transportation accessibility in the city.
