The Snaring Economy 0
Ride with discriminating drivers.
From May to July, nearly 3 percent of UberX drivers, the lowest-cost option available, avoided the northern edge of north Minneapolis, while just more than 2 percent avoided the North Dowling Avenue area. Lyft drivers, who serve a smaller coverage area than Uber, dismissed even more trips, about 14.54 percent in the near north areas.
While the numbers do not appear staggering, comments on an online Uber forum show that some drivers are staying away from north Minneapolis.
