Minneapolis Council Member Urges Reevaluation of Rideshare Ordinance as Uber and Lyft Exit

Minneapolis City Council member Andrea Jenkins has filed a notice to reconsider the controversial rideshare ordinance, which Uber and Lyft argue would make rider fares too expensive and drive away customers. This move comes as Uber plans to exit the metro, potentially leaving thousands of drivers without work. The Council is expected to address the reconsideration in Thursday’s meeting, and Jenkins changing her vote could impact the veto-proof majority needed to overturn the ordinance.
