“We have not yet reviewed the full report, but the new proposed policy appears to create financial incentives for drivers to provide less service. As a result, there will be more empty cars, more congestion, longer wait times for passengers, and, over time, less pay for drivers in New York City,” Jalponik quotes Lyft in a response to a proposed minimum wage for human cloud/ride-sharing firm drivers in New York City. The report called for a minimum wage of $17.22 per hour for on-demand drivers from Lyft, Uber and other human cloud driver firms.
