Lyft and Uber say they will cease operations in Minneapolis after the city’s council voted Thursday to override a mayoral veto and require ride-hailing services to increase driver wages to the equivalent of the local hourly minimum wage of $15.57.

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.

    I don’t use either service very often, but the last time I tried, I ended up taking a taxi as it was cheaper. This was at the airport.

    Again, rarely use these types of services period. But I’ve also never had a taxi not show up and almost make me miss my flight. Happened to me with Uber.
