Description

Portland City Council members want ride-hailing drivers to get more of what passengers pay. The companies say the proposal would trigger higher prices and reduce ridership, leaving less opportunity for drivers.

Portland lawmakers are pursuing a measure they hope will boost wages for Uber and Lyft drivers by restricting how much the ride-hailing companies can collect on passenger trips. Those companies fiercely oppose the proposal and warn it could trigger a big increase in their prices; Uber says it might leave the city altogether.
