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 hope they get something similar to the Driver's Cooperative, which is like Uber/Lyft but owned but the drivers themselves. Right now though my understanding is they're only in NYC/Denver.

Yep, I know the CWAer that helped form the coop in Denver! Driver co-ops will become very popular as people realize they're getting screwed by these companies
