Uber and Lyft are say they're leaving Minneapolis. Could it happen here?

Radio Boston explores the fight over the future of rideshare in Massachusetts.

First, Uber and Lyft are threatening to leave Minneapolis in May, saying it's because of new local rules imposed on the companies. Evan Horowitz of the Center for State Policy Analysis at Tufts University, Axios reporter Kyle Stokes and Stacy Thompson of the transportation advocacy group Livable Streets join the show to discuss.

Then, two rideshare drivers share their perspectives on a potential ballot question that would address whether Uber and Lyft workers in Massachusetts are employees or independent contractors.

This segment aired on April 3, 2024. The audio for this segment is not available.
