>I>The commission claimed this will result in an average nearly $10,000 rise in earnings for 96% of drivers.

Will it? Or will the resulting price increases to riders reduce demand and price half the Uber/Lyft drivers out of the market, leaving them unemployed?

I wonder if this will boost the prices of taxi medallions.

Another option would be for Uber/Lyft/etc.. to simply exit the New York "market" completely leaving ALL their drivers unemployed and a financial burden to the State of New York.

If I were running Uber/Lyft that's exactly what I'd do.
