Study Finds Racial Discrimination By Uber, Lyft Drivers

African-American customers wait as much as 30 percent longer for ride-hailing services like UberX and Lyft, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Washington, Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Researchers also found that those with "African American-sounding names" had their trips canceled at twice the rate of those with "white-sounding names." Both Uber and Lyft contend that they do not tolerate discrimination.
