Did the ordinance specify that the app companies would have to absorb the costs and NOT pass them to the users? No? Ah, well, that explains it then.

Thats not how economics works, if the cost of a product goes up one way or another, the price goes up, one way or another

And oddly, the price of a product can go up even if the cost of the product doesn't change or goes down.
