Lyft has been fined $ 300,000 by the state of New York for not having proper insurance on it’s drivers. Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says ride-sharing services like Lyft or Uber are welcomed in New York as long as they follow all the rules. This means from now on all Lyft drivers must have proper insurance issued by a business operating and regulated within New York State.
The new agreements also mean Lyft will be obligated to give authorities three weeks notice when it plans to move into a new city. Buffalo and Rochester officials said they felt they were treated unfairly when Lyft moved there back in April 2014 without any notice.
The larger Lyft and Uber get, the more problems they have to deal with. Everyone seems to be taking a shot at them sooner or later. They have been under fire recently for all sorts of problems such as not taking safety seriously, not respecting other market players (cabs), and unfair wages for their employees.
Although a $ 300k fine may be a lot of money to some of us, it’s nothing Lyft can’t afford considering they are valued at over $ 2 billion.
