MINNEAPOLIS  – The Minneapolis City Council is discussing postponing the implementation date of a minimum wage ordinance that has prompted threats from Uber and Lyft to cease operations in the city. Council members are considering pushing the implementation date from May 1 to July 1 to allow for more time for new ride-hailing apps to enter the market. Additionally, there are discussions about amending the ordinance to include fare transparency and data disclosures. Some council members may also propose dismissing the minimum wage ordinance altogether. The council aims to strengthen the policy and ensure equitable outcomes for drivers and riders.
