Uber and Lyft to Cease Operations in Minneapolis Amid Pay Dispute

The Minneapolis City Council has overridden the mayor's veto to implement a new ordinance setting minimum pay requirements for rideshare drivers, leading Uber and Lyft to announce plans to pull out of the city on May 1st. This decision has sparked concerns about transportation for both late-shift workers and upcoming summer events, while some in the business community worry about the impact on downtown travel. Rideshare drivers express mixed feelings, with some hoping for relief from competition and others already exploring opportunities with alternative rideshare services.
