Phucked around and found out! LOL
Uber said it will leave the entire metro, including the airport. Lyft said it would cease operations in Minneapolis May 1, when the ordinance takes effect.
Rideshare giants Uber and Lyft said they will leave Minneapolis on May 1 after the City Council voted Thursday to enact a pay raise for drivers.
The council voted 10 to 3 to override Mayor Jacob Frey's veto of the ordinance, which sets drivers' minimum pay for rides in the city starting May 1.
In statements after the vote, Uber said it will "stop operating a transportation network in the entire metro area including the airport," and Lyft said it will be "shutting down operations in Minneapolis."
The vote was met with cheers from an organized group of drivers, and council members who support the plan declared it a victory for workers and scoffed at the ride-hailing companies' threats. Meanwhile, a forlorn Frey said, "We've got a lot of work to do" to prepare for a city without Uber.
