Uber Suit Blocks Pay Raise for Uber & Lyft Drivers – Big Apple Taxi

A court has blocked a rate hike that would have increased pay for New York City Uber and Lyft drivers. Uber sued the city’s Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC) in December, claiming it used a flawed methodology to determine the per-minute and per-mile rate increases. Manhattan state court Justice Arthur Engoron agreed. “It’s just not enough to say there’s inflation and 100 drivers said gas prices shot up,” Engoron, a former taxi driver in his college days, said, according to Bloomberg.
