Uber and Lyft are hitting the brakes in Minneapolis after the city council revved up the minimum wage for drivers. The council's 10-3 vote to override Mayor Jacob Frey's veto means rideshare drivers will now earn $15.57 an hour. Uber and Lyft are revving their engines to leave Minneapolis on May 1, leaving passengers stranded in the dust.
