"Minneapolis City Council Overrides Mayor's Veto, Prompting Uber and Lyft Exit"

Uber and Lyft are threatening to cease operations in Minneapolis starting May 1 after the city council voted to override the mayor's veto and implement an ordinance guaranteeing drivers a minimum wage equivalent to the city's rate. Both companies argue that the ordinance sets rates higher than the state's study suggested, making their operations unsustainable. They are advocating for a statewide solution and hope to return to Minneapolis soon. If they follow through, the Twin Cities would be the only metro in the United States without these ride-hailing services.
