Uber has sued the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission, aiming to block a “drastic” rate increase for drivers approved last month just days before its scheduled implementation.
In a petition filed in Manhattan Supreme Court on Friday, the rideshare giant claims that the 7% increase in per-minute rates and 16% per-mile increase approved by the TLC last month constitute “dramatic, unprecedented, and unsupported hikes” and should not be allowed to go into effect as planned on Dec. 19.
