The Minneapolis City Council approved a two-month delay for new rules that would raise pay for ride hailing drivers. The rules were scheduled to take effect in May but now won’t take effect until July.

Under the ordinance, ride-hailing companies must pay drivers at least $1.40 per mile and $0.51 per minute — or $5 per ride, whichever is greater — excluding tips, for the time spent transporting passengers in Minneapolis. Lyft said the city’s rate “will make rides too expensive for most riders, meaning drivers will ultimately earn less. This is unsustainable for our customers.”
