Drivers for Uber and Lyft have gone go on strike Wednesday morning — and commuters may need to adjust their travel plans.

In response to the spate of for-hire driver suicides across New York City, a new “driver wellness” program offering free counseling has launched.

The heads of New York City’s Taxi and Limousine Commission and the Buildings Commission are stepping down, the mayor announced Saturday.

A taxi owner and driver died by suicide and was found earlier this month — making him the eighth professional driver in New York City to have died by suicide this year, the city’s Taxi and Limousine Commission said.

An Uber driver who jumped in front of a New York City subway train last month was at least the seventh professional driver to die by suicide in the city this year, and advocates say the death points to continuing hardships faced by drivers since the advent of ride-hailing apps.

The CEO of Uber says New York City should impose a fee on app-hailed rides to help taxi medallion owners who are struggling with debt.

Portable toilets have finally been installed for Uber and Lyft drivers at JFK, according to Port Authority officials.

A new New York City regulation could force Uber and other on-demand car services to offer tipping for drivers in their app, a change that could make driving more lucrative in the city.
