Can you elaborate more on Lyft? Been using it instead of Uber due to their issues but I wasn't aware of problems with them. Not entirely shocked, however.
They have the same business model, same opposition to regulation, same generally bad arrangement with employees (sorry, "contractors") and riders alike. When my city (Austin, Texas) passed a law in 2017 requiring fingerprints and government background checks for ride-share drivers, Uber and Lyft left the city in protest (other ride-share startups sprung up in their wake and did just fine, so the law clearly wasn't a great burden on businesses).
However they did not, as far as we know, track government officials' locations to evade investigation (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/04/technology/uber-federal-i...). It seems you have to have a man-child as your founder and CEO before you'll do something that brazen.
