The Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) is working on a new set of rideshare driver pay rules to fight driver lockouts imposed by Uber and Lyft that are lowering wages, according to a Bloomberg report.
Over the last few months, Uber and Lyft began limiting how much idle time drivers are able to log, essentially locking them out of the app and restricting how much non-passenger time they can log.
Drivers now say they have to work longer to earn the same as before, and have less control over their schedules. Some drivers' take-home pay has since dropped by as much as 50%.
Uber and Lyft have told drivers that the lockouts are essentially the commission's and their competitors' faults, since the pay rule takes into account statistics from all ridesharing companies.
