two words..................Free Market
there's no such a thing as a free market, more like a monopoly.
@@AT-nq6cu Maybe that is because instead of leaving their jobs for new ones with better pay (forcing companies to compete) They force the monopoly "they hate" to pay them higher wages through the government.. eliminating possible competition.
The government should not be able to go into a private company and tell them how much they pay its independent contractors. When the government starts to do that, your country has turned into a fascist country.
@@chelseyt7091 Comcast have no competition, do they? You have to go the streaming route.
Obviously this sounds like a rider, no idea what it’s like to be a driver…
Call a taxi like you did before Uber/ Lyft ..
Taxi Cost more then a Uber about Twice or 3 Times a price the price only live here 7 years. I would rather walk before I take a taxi
ya, so you can listen to Pakistani on your ride home.. FUN
What's a taxi?
@@Steelers2841 Yet that's what it costs for DRIVERS TO ACTUALLY MAKE A LIVING. Why do you think that the rideshare drivers are standing for?
Sure, and pay 4 times the price.
It's a scare tactic, I'm a 9-year Uber driver and I've seen this over and over again. If they do leave, they'll soon be back. They did the same thing in Austin
Austin also has 3x more people than what the Twin Cities has. There is little incentive for them to come back.
They came back when Texas told Austin to f itself. They supplanted the law Austin was trying to put into effect. They will leave and not come back if the law isn’t changed.
The problem is Uber and Lyft was never meant to be real jobs. They both fall under the umbrella of side hustle. I do Instacart, but it's just for extra money, not a part time or full time job.
I agree with that. Economically, there were too many drivers so each get paid less. If there were less drivers, the companies would be forced to pay them more. I knew soneone who treated Uber Eats as a full time job. Needless to say he struggled to find affordable housing until I knocked some sense into him. The solution was really simple, don't work for them if you aren't making enough money. That is how the job market works.
Why don’t the companies pay the minimum wage and not force us to do it for them by tipping?
What business ever does it that way?
Because minimum wage, or making everyone employees will affect their financial bottom line. Minneapolis drivers are the only ones in the country complaining about it. Uber and Lyft drivers in Las Vegas for example are loving their side hustle.
@lorddusk8463 Very true. I have an amazing career, but I'll do gig work as well. I love it, and the money is good. The drivers complaining could find something else if they're not happy. You're an independent contractor, not an employee. It's nice being able to start and finish as I please.
@@WDGTAwell, maybe "the money is good" in your market, and you have people that tip LIKE THEYRE SUPPOSED TO, even if it's not a "requirement" by Uber. You obviously aren't a full time driver, abd if you were, you'd be singing a different tune. You must not be a very knowledgeable or decent driver to make statements like yours, and to be honest, you sound like an ignorant idiot.
@@lorddusk8463 yeahhhhhhno. We out in California are upset with how they make billions while constantly keep taking more and more of the fare and don't pay us the money that we're worth. They don't reimburse us for any costs but take the majority of the profit. To be honest, Uber and Lyft should be illegal if they don't pay their fair share. You obviously have never done ridesharing, and have no idea about which you are talking. Walk before you run, or, in your case, crawl before you walk. ^^🤡^^
I ride uber and lyft often. I would get charged $30-$50+ for some rides. The driver pay would be like $5, $10, $15. I started paying drivers less than what uber would charge me but more than they make out of pocket and canceling my ride.
What? It's PAID
Too bad so many of these people defending Uber just to take a jab at Biden and the democrats could do half the research you did.
They aren't supposed to do that. Greedy company has to get their cut.
Still paid...
Yep. Uber is predatory to both riders and drivers.
Drivers deserve Fair pay. The other day I drove some one 33 miles only to get 28 dollars at 3 am in the morning. Passenger was complaining for the fare is soo expensive. He told me he paid 87 dollars. I showed him my screen he showed me his, we were both stunned. Oh have I mentioned? I drove back to city 33 miles without a customer? Gas is twice expensive. Drivers earning way below minimum wage.
Correct. Lyft driver here. I only drive when I’m able to use the Lyft filter of 5 miles. After the filter is gone which we get twice a day I stop. Gas over here is 3.48 a gallon and these rides are 19 to 30 miles away. Plus those trips take you out your area.
Can’t you see the ride before you accept?
This city needs a better public transportation system an the slow 2 mile streetcar line. Public transportation in the United States is a pathetic experience. What a shame for this country.
Twin cities has robust public transportation infrastructure, that is probably why the mayor killed the uber/lyft business to force more people onto the public transport.
@@andrews6323Mayor vetoed, City Council overide the veto!
It really is. It's impossible to even get outside the city or even go between Minneapolis and Saint Paul in a reasonable amount of time on public transportation.
Ironically, people will have to take a more expensive taxi. Unfortunately the Uber and Lyft drivers will be out of a job.
Uber is more expensive
😆 it ain't 2015 anymore
@@joeMW284 Yes, but if there isn’t competition from Uber and Lyft, Taxi prices will increase.
Stop that lie . A Taxi is not more expensive. Just say you wouldn't know how to do it .
@@user-ok9ue8gp6kMake up your mind . Is it more expensive or not .
What happened to metro mobility? Drivers need to be paid a livable wage they are not charities or slaves!
Then don't become a Lyft driver if you didn't like the pay. They're supplemental income jobs and take no skill. Lyft and Uber leaving is the price of putting ideology over reality.
The problem is that not a single driver for Lyft or Uber does it compulsively. If you don't like the wage you're getting at job A, you're welcome to look for job B.
Everyone gets paid what they are worth to their employer. Duh.
@bulleitupyourazz8168 they take no skill? Well, we all know who here can't drive. Bet you this moron wouldn't say the samething about a limo driver.
@@FlatEarthMatha lot of rideshare people do it because it is a better job than job B that some times pays a little better and sometimes pays worse. You are defending a company that charges the rider and the driver for the service in which they are making 90% of what the driver makes while having most of their service done by AI. They themselves make an hourly wage and do less work. They themselves have better benefits. The people who actually work get nothing and in any other job that would be called wage theft.
Good, now those 1900 cab drivers can have their jobs back.
Thanks I drive a cab in Columbia South Carolina Uber and Lyft are cutting our throats everyday they do sometimes offer economical transportation but most of the time they surcharge the hell out of the public without compensating their drivers !! We hear the Uber and Lyft drivers complaining all the time it is bad for all of us 😕
Cabs are so danm expensive.
@@dwayneard5997
Juneau, Alaska here. Been driving cab for 20 years. When it's bad, it's really bad. But, we grind it out. 24/7/365 is the company's commitment to the city. That includes a local dispatcher around the clock. Our job is not a "gig."
An other ride share company should step in.
What other ride share company?
And why would this fictional company do that?
No other company wants to step into a city that creates a hostile work environment for companies
There aren't any lol
This is so biased. It’s ridiculous. There’s something called taxi. Over 1900 taxi cab Avies are in Minneapolis and it’s surroundings.
My 64-year-old mother who is on social security has a limited income and you're telling her to take a taxi?
@TheDjg1983 And on an every day basis too.
People Just cheap and don’t want to pay but they want someone to increase depreciation on their car for free.
It’s ok, the drunks will just drive themselves home.
Call a taxi you cheap people 🤣🤣

@@A.z.p47 yeah me either, I don’t know why anyone would do that job.
They can keep on driving.
All media they talking about Uber /lyft how about the drivers . One day I take Uber they charge me $70 bucks and driver get only $19 is that fair
Let's see proof.
Duh state took $50 in tax and fees
@@chrisfriday7666Just look online at driver's forums. They've got screenshots. I did Uber for a while and there were many rides that I would just break even without tips. And I drive a cheap, reliable car. I enjoyed the social aspect but Uber started playing games with the app. Like if you rejected a ride because of how low the pay was, they would stop giving you rides. Sad because it's a cool system and if they charged passengers reasonable prices and paid drivers reasonably, they would still be successful. They're just constantly chasing quarter to quarter profits to get their bonuses.
Get a better job!
Did you pay it? Did they accept it? Then it must’ve been fine. Don’t like it then do something, don’t use Lyft or Uber, take the bus, taxi, bike or keep complaining. The government rarely makes things better.
Anyone who’s ever used the green line or been harassed by the police on there knows it’s a nightmare.
Not the first stupid thing they have done there.
If you gave them the ability to feed you, you also gave them the ability to starve you...
Let them pull out and leave, they think they have a stranglehold on the industry. There are several up and coming ride share apps to use.
This paints a picture of “GREED” they rather pull out than “BLESS” drivers & “BLESS” the community of Minnesota “SHAME”! I drive for Lyft in San Diego Ca & we get the same financial treatment!
Where were you when the TC taxi drivers had their jobs taken by new immigrants who had the full support of the local government behind them and against longtime taxi drivers? What goes around, comes around. It is their turn now to have their jobs disappear due to a move by the city council.
Ride share drivers shouldn't have been subsidizing public transportation in the first place
Another Democrat success
Resounding success as usual.
Just blame everything on the Democrats then no one has to fix anything.
😂
Democrats are not in charge of Alabama or Arkansas, MS, LA to name a few.
Typical Trumper response. Delusional and out of touch with reality.
Why is it always the driver that has to pay the price for Uber and Lyft greed ,they don't have to raise the price,they just have to stop taking 40 and 50 percent of the rider payment, they use to take 20 percent and give the driver 80 percent now of the sudden they can't live with that , and explain to me why the CEO of Uber and Lyft getting paid millions of dollars while I have to finance buying my tires because of how low these idiots pay me , enough is enough.
Do you realize Uber and Lyft just recently started making a profit after being a company in all 50 states for years and years and years? They’re not making a profit before now. So you’re talking about being greedy, but from their point of you their investors are literally making nothing back because they have been paying out so much. It’s easy to say they’re greedy when you don’t know what they’re paying. I don’t know either.
Constitutionally how can a city government demand what a company has to pay workers? It’s between workers and the company. Or union.
SHUT UP and call the labor department and they will educate you
@@unclebrew9536nope. Uber SHUT UP and left the city. 😂
@@unclebrew9536🚨bot alert🚨
You never worked as a teenager, did you? It’s called minimum wage,
@@KristopherYurkovichminimum wage is for hourly employees. Not contractors genius. Is the local city government going to make a law requiring Uber to stay in Minneapolis now too. 😂
.....I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.....
Uber and Lyft both charge you and the drive 90% of what the driver is getting paid. Those guys could charge less and still pay drivers more and still turn a huge profit. They would rather not take a pay cut and yet would give up 3 entire states of customers and lose all that profit rather than pay the drivers more. The drivers by the way do all the work.
@@danielessex2162shut up pls.
Now let's watch the games begin
@@danielessex2162True, but now they have left Minneapolis and a bunch of people are now stranded. So trying to force a corporation to do the right thing has only led to more problems including job loss for the drivers due to government meddling. No amount of moralizing is going to fix the situation.
@@djjerome yup, drivers were crying about $ but what they were really crying about is not wanting to work a harder job. Now they will have to.
Of course corporations are so good and honest nothing can go wrong.
Wow. Boycott lyft and Uber.
Lyft is such a big liar they supposedly tell u now how much the riders pay but when i ask the rides is almost always more that they paid
The city council apparently does not have negotiating skills along with lack a of foresight. Or it was done intentionally to harm
Possibly all three. If they cared about their constituents, they would have created an alternative to address the mobility and affordability gaps. But instead they blunt forced through what they wanted instead of thinking about the consequences and now the poor and disabled have to literally pay the price.
@@HichigoShirosaki1 I think Uber was net profit world wide something like60 billion in2022 so the City council wants to side with people that work for uber and lyft who complain that uber and lyft should pay more.
But I know some people that do that job and they do pretty good making money if they put effort, AND they can basically pick their own hours.
Bottom line i that the situation should take care of itself.If the people don't want to do the job, someone else will. If no one will do the job then they would need to pay more to the workers. Common sense!
But once the authoritarian government decides to interfere, the situation gets worse. This is what we might call Gov. over reach, or the democratic process. More mommy daddy government and less of the citizens natural order of things.
The city may operate with a fiscal deficit but they can’t legislate businesses to do so. Owners of lyft already lost 60% of their investment stock is down huge.
Maybe the citizens should tell their city council that they want to pay more taxes so these people can get raises 😂
BS both companies are making as much as the drivers are. If their profits are down then they themselves caused it. A few states have already made mention that rideshare companies have raised the rates just prior to talks about states discussing rideshare employees getting hourly wages. Last year Uber made 2 billion in profits don't tell me they are hurting.
If you can't pay your workers a living wage, you don't get to have a business.
@@Distortion0 I think we have same ideas but different way of getting there.
You say the problem is they aren’t making enough
I say the government is inflating away currency value and their money isn’t going as far.
There’s countless TH-cam videos of riders bragging about averaging $20-30-50-60/ hr
Sometimes they get paid good sometimes they don’t. It’s their right not to accept the job.
Now that government has stepped into our lives again these people have 0 work
Bottom line it is supply and demand pricing if there are not enough drivers taking rides prices will tick up
But they are taking the rides then crying about it.
@@Distortion0 yeah agreed but notice the CEOs of these companies make far more than a living wage and they don't do a quarter of the work they drivers do.
@@Distortion0 if my boss isn’t paying me enough I get another job
70 percent of riders are drunk people needing a home ride, definitely drivers deserve a raise
Good I hope all Car services leave this corrupt state.
If you hate it so bad get out
@@youngrelleus19 I don't think he lives in that corrupt state.
I’ve stop using Uber and Lyft for over a year now because most of my money don’t even go to the drivers instead the company is taking a big chunk of the fare. Remember many times I pay over $80 and the driver only get $20
That’s true
💯 true. Greedy corporate never satisfied 😌
You are being lied to
Please show proof of this
Put it that way Uber & lyft are taking advantage of both drivers & customers.
Min wage is too high....I've stopped ordering take-out food. Too expensive now...thanks Bidum....
Minimum wage is too high? So take out food is too high priced? You do know most places fired their drivers because people order specifically through Uber eats and other such apps which overcharge you for deliveries. Maybe that's your problem you keep ordering through apps or ignoring the fact that many places use the new minimum wage raise as an excuse to increase their profits even more. Many companies like Uber are already making 2 billion dollars they can go without the price increase and can pay better.
You are being charged extremely high but that poor driver is making only 2-3$ for that delivery.These companies have gotten extremely GREEDY
Your inflation took place with the Trump administration idiot. He had two years with a Republican left House and Senate and what did he do? NOTHING.
Poor darling, no food delivery cheaply?
@@danielessex2162 Shows you don't know me - Pal...I don't have an iphone...I have a cheap flip-phone that costs $9 a month. The thing barely texts and can take a photo.. What does your i-phone cost?

Side note - I ONLY drive to get my food...I never trust anyone else delivering it to me...
Why don't you call a taxi, you know like in a phone book...
Taxis are atleast 2x more. That’s why Lyft and Uber was so popular I D I O T 😒
People get barely anything on disability and you want them to pay significantly more just to get around?
Look, I am a disabled person this greatly affects. While I support drivers being paid more, what I can't support is the city doing this without a plan to provide equivalent alternate transportation options that cost the same for these people who needed to rely on the services because of their limited income and mobility.
The City council did a wonderful job and protected the driver's right to a fair pay system.
The Mayor has to go!
So there is no taxis? They can all still drive
Taxi drivers rejoice ...
Won't it just revert to the crap they had before Uber/Lyft?
Yeah, taxicabs & buses. It'll just cost the public more money to get where they're going
@@M.O.W. Cheaper if using public transportation?
@@M.O.W.And by "the public", what you really mean is the poor and disabled. That's exactly the problem on top of the limited availability of cabs now.
We operate our own vehicles and pay all expenses. If Uber and Lyft owned all the vehicles and drivers were employees with zero expenses, how much should drivers earn? At least minimum wage plus tips.
protect the vulnerable population by abusing the vulnerable populations. Make sense.

Thats great, you still didn't answer just who these large ride share companies can just drop right in as if they have the same resources and money like multi-national corporations like Uber and Lyft and replace them as if they never happened?
Who are these companies and are they these multi-national corporations who make $2 billion in profits annually you keep saying they have?

@@davidroberts7282They can't because there isn't.

Its still the plan.
Get a taxi or dial a ride or new rideshare program . Wages or slavery
You don't pay slaves at all it's completely different and irrelevant.
I hope the entire country would come together and stop this coperate greed. Uber and Lyft is killing drivers.
Or drivers could simply find a better job
Drivers that choose to get paid like that. Rideshare Apps also sell your data.
This is over reach on the MN Government’s part. People depend on ride services.
No it is not. It is the government's job to make sure people make a livable wage. Why aren't you talking about how Uber and Lyft make 2 billion in profits as if paying better is gonna make them go broke? Seriously you need to go back to math class.
@@danielessex2162 Who maintains the website for these companies? The drivers? No. Higher-skilled people in the middle get some of the money from making each ride possible.

We do realize that there are like 80 rideshare companies now right? The customer base is there, a new one can come in, doing the right thing, and not get greedy in the process.
So the state first taxed the rideshare driving rider costs and now raises prices to an unaffordable level so now the business left the state. Great job once again mn government greed
Getting in somebody's car is a luxury.. Luxury is money
They need to leave Los Angeles too
don't blame them. THE CITY FELL WITH ST FLOYD. 93.7% of all crime by ST FLOYD's cousins.
Racist Trumper
U er charges customers far more than they should and pay drivers less. They have a crooked biz model so let them leave. Call a cap
Tell them to leave they have been exploiting people for years allegedly taking between 50 and 70%!!! Drivers already pay for gas, wear and tear of the vehicle, insurance, phone, phone service, their time, etc. They need an app that makes the driver the owner operator and for a reasonable fee makes the driver the sole beneficiary of all of their hard work!!!
I mean stop using these company's. Everyone complains about government and companies but does absolutely nothing about it lol. Guess that's the American way now adays. wake up people you have the power not them
Exactly! Instead of leaving the company for a better paying job (which would force competition & higher wages) they decide to bring in the government "they hate" and work against their own interests? Ugh 🤦
if they leave there are so many Alternative Rideshare companies
uber and lyft leaving an entire city speaks to their ethics. disgusting.
Minneapolis city council passing this ordinance fully knowing the outcome speaks to their incompetence. embarrassing.
I used to work for Uber. I agree with the state 100%
Business, not personal.
And something I didn't see in this article the way in Minneapolis hates the police but loves George Floyd and and crime I can only imagine how many Lyft in Uber drivers have been either shot or criminalized
what you fail to realize is the city has the raw data and the profits that uber and lyft are making is huge and they have more than enough to pay stop giving millions of dollars in bonuses you dirty pieces of corporate garbage and even more millions and worstless prmotions everybpdy know wtf uber and lyft are at this point word of mouth is free advertizing and marketing they need to be taught a lesson

There’s still EMPOWER.
Would be a good thing for a person you know personally drive you and pay them.
Some of the drivers could start there own cab company like DC cab the movie starting mr. T
Get business cards from drivers while you can! You'll need a driver when you least expect it!
Taxi drivers are very happy about Uber Lyft leaving
Now all those drivers will be out of work.
They can join the crowd of many more who have suffered job and business losses since 2020.
They are contractors. The aren't fired, they just aren't allowed to operate inside of Minneapolis.
Here comes Uber and impact campaign
I hope all the USA DOES THE SAME. Uber companies are taking advantage of every single employee. We are getting pay 1 dolar a mile but only if you stay in town. Once you drive over 20 er and lift pay 50 cent a mile. They are taking between 55 and 60% of our profit.
Remember, the true minimum wage is zero.

You are rather ignorant.i dare you run for their seats if you can.go ahead.They listened to their people.common sense should rather prompt you to put pressure on the mayor to provide more public transportation
@@unclebrew9536 Those people will be jobless soon.

Its almost laughable how stupid frey and waltz are.
Uber pays their drivers pennies on the dollar compared to the fare they charge. They could easily still be profitable in that area if they paid more. What they are doing here is nipping things in the bud so it doesn't spread to other cities and states.
I guess this would be the start of State Governments/City Funded/Provided experiences... The Cities and Governments could have their citizens work for the city... Money would still be used and drivers could still make their money while the taxes could be used to provide the same expenses used for roads, city workers, etc... 🤷 maybe 🤔
I wonder if they'll be able to buy legislation in a year from now like they did here in texas to protect their business model after failing in a referendum they started and paid for in Austin to keep from having to do the basics cab drivers have to do...they failed took their ball and went home everything was fine with out them and about a year later all of a sudden there's a new law paid for buy them in the legislature protecting their industry form ANY regulation
Let the poor people deal with it.
So you're telling me Minneapolis doesn't have public transportation or taxis?
Ride-sharing isn't even a decade old.
😂🤣😂
Minneapolis has Metro Transit covers both 7 County Region
We definitely do lol. They're being dramatic.
But why city trying to look for other ridsharing out of State ?! There are thousends MN Taxicab already here wthout enough job !? Enough is enough . Poor Uber lift drivers are working almost for free with their car, gas, time and energy and they go home to family exhausted with no enough money to cover his bill.
So what the heck are we so supposed to do if our car breaks down and we need a lift somewhere and don’t have any families and friends?? We need Uber and Lyft.
Call one of the alternatives, or a tow truck.
Taxis still exist.... busses still exist.... bikes still exist... Minneapolis even has scooters you can rent.
@@Sylvershade taxi’s are overpriced 🚕 , I’m not sure people use them anymore. I wish Minnesota had a lot more public transportation like in New York and England.

What did they think was gonna happen ?? 😂😂😂 this is hilarious
Cities or regular people should make a ride share app they are mad because they can't price gouge anymore I just had a customer yesterday they were charged 40 for round trip I probably would have got 13 of that and I'm supplying my car gas and doing my own maintenance
“Quit their jobs because they have no transportation to get to them” …. Idk that makes me feel that the transportation cost is too low if people are able to use Uber/Lyft daily to get to their jobs. 🤷🏻♀️
No, it's absolutely true that people would have to. Most of the good paying jobs are in the suburbs where there is very little public transportation.
When you are wage greedy, there are consequences. Companies have to be able to cover their bottom line as well. Just like when people thought they needed insane wage increase to work at McDonald's and it wasn't feasible, there were consequences and jobs lost. These drivers did it to themselves.
I'm sorry but Uber, Lyft and Door Dash driver jobs are more suitable for a supplemental/ second job /subcontractor job, supplemental job, NOT a living wage job. If You want a sustainable living wage job, work at a regular job.
Totally agree! Wouldn’ surprise me if they took daily payouts away, start getting paid once a week, no more working the hours you want to work, no more 1099’s could be worse than ever!
Preach
And if you want slave wage drivers get your own car
"Wage Greedy"? What a ridiculous thing to say!
Unfortunately that's not the case here. Uber wages used to be somewhat reasonable, unlike McDonald's. Then someone at Uber decided they could find ways to manipulate drivers and passengers with the app. For example, surge pricing. Would you be willing to pay 5x the price for a McDonald's hamburger just because there was a long line of customers in the drive through?
When they do surge pricing, that driver doesn't get any additional money. So the customer is frustrated, the driver is frustrated even though he's in demand and should be paid more, but Uber wins.
Drivers used to get a higher portion of the fare and Uber was very profitable, so this obviously has nothing to do with bottom lines. They're focusing on quarter to quarter profits at the expense of their customers and drivers. They know that if drivers leave, they can just find some other naive person to join. Remember there is zero driver training. McDonald's puts time and money into training. Uber sends you a video to watch and sends you on your way. Don't get me wrong, I agree that additional wages affect most businesses, but in this case it's not wage greed as you called it, it's corporate greed. Got to please that board and those shareholders. There are times doing Uber that you might break even on a ride if you don't get tips. Nobody expects to necessarily make Uber their only job, but not having a minimum wage means you can even lose money on rides.
Businesses are not what they used to be 25 years ago.
It’s time to give a chance to new Rideshare companies
Won't likely happen at a wide scale. Starting a rideshare company in MN is super super hard.
Guess it's back to camels for the citizens of of Minneapolis
I cannot believe how selfish Uber is
They pay nothing
You can't believe a business who has a program called God Veiw to show all pickups and dropoffs, at one time had a site to dox people who had potential one night stands, and who sells all location and trip data would be selfish? I want to live in your fantasy world where everything is rosy.
There plenty of cabs still. The people customers that don't want to tip are the one complaining about this. The one without cars and don't understand the cost of maintenance and gas. It also makes it to where the money will stay in the city by using independently-owned cabs again. Uber and Lyft will take the money away from the town and they don't care about drivers or customers. Answer this when you call Uber about a problem they side step the question or problem most of the time. you have to jump tough loops to get things settled. But if you call a private cab about problems they fix it and if they don't it will be easier to get it fixed because they are in the same city. They need to do this everywhere. Bring the real cab company's back the ones that are for the people and drivers.
Good luck getting cab companies to puck this up. Fat chance. I bet City Council backs off because if they leave people will be stuck
Cab companies are the ones that lobbied for this.
@@Sylvershade figures. I bet they back off if rideshares leave
Now taxi drivers are very happy 🚕🚕🚕🚕
then they better start walking
