A legal battle is brewing in New York between Uber and the city’s Taxi & Limousine Commission.
On Friday, Uber sued the city claiming the hikes will be a blow to the entire industry that will likely force riders to cough up more money. The tech company says it would be forced to shell out at least $21 million a month to compensate for the pay hike.
Uber is hoping a judge will issue an emergency ruling to stop the TLC’s fare increase – while the legal battle plays out in court. "It would be devastating for the drivers because this is the holiday season, this is when the drivers work really hard," Tirmizi said.
