If you happen to live in New York City, you’re about to see a discernible price increase when it comes to getting around town in an Uber. Starting today, Uber rides will be more expensive as the company seeks to comply with a new hourly minimum wage law for folks who drive for ride share companies like Uber.
As part of the new rule, Uber drivers will now be entitled to earn $17.22 an hour, a figure which excludes items such as gas, tolls, and other fees.
