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.

    How the fuck is Lyft still a company?

    They don’t deliver food, how did they survive the pandemic?

    How many dumb billionaire venture capitalists put way too many eggs in that basket?

    Something tells me that would be an easy stock to short.

        Yeah, on the rare occasion where I need to take a ride-share, I go for Lyft over Uber just because they are the lesser evil, not because they are better.

        Really? I recall a South Park episode showing the exact opposite, lol.

        Also, all of my friends use Uber EXCEPT one who uses Lyft because their job gives them a better deal.

            What do you mean “news”?

            We’re talking about the company’s reputation.

            you doughnut.

            So sad when people like you think you’re smart.

      It’s lost 80% of its value in the past few years. I think you’ve maybe missed the boat on shorting.
