Uber将限制司机的应用程序访问

Uber on Tuesday will begin limiting drivers’ access to its app in New York City to comply with regulation aimed at boosting drivers’ pay and easing congestion in Manhattan, laws that Uber says will have unintended consequences.

周二，优步将开始限制司机在纽约市使用其应用程序，以遵守旨在提高司机工资、缓解曼哈顿拥堵的监管规定。优步表示，这些法律将产生意想不到的后果。

New York City’s Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) last year implemented several laws challenging the way ride-share companies operate in North America’s largest city, one of the industry’s largest markets.

纽约市出租汽车和豪华轿车委员会(TLC)去年实施了几项法律，对北美最大城市、行业最大市场之一的乘用车公司的运营方式提出挑战。

The agency’s acting commissioner, Bill Heinzen, in a statement on Monday defended the laws, saying they held companies accountable and prevented Uber and Lyft from oversaturating the market at drivers’ expense.

该机构代理专员比尔?海因策(Bill Heinzen)周一在一份声明中为这些法律进行了辩护，称它们要求企业承担责任，防止优步和Lyft让市场过度饱和，损害司机的利益。

New rules cap the number of app-based, for-hire cars and established minimum pay for the city’s 80,000 ride-share drivers based on how much time they spend transporting passengers.

新的规定限制了基于应用程序的租车数量，并根据他们花在运送乘客上的时间，设定了该市8万名乘用车司机的最低工资。

The laws also limit the time drivers spend “cruising” - driving to or waiting to pick up new passengers. Starting in February, ride-share companies have to reduce cruising rates by 5% and later by 10%, down from currently 41%. Non-compliance can result in fines or even the inability to operate in the city.

这些法律还限制了司机“巡航”的时间——开车去接新乘客或等着接新乘客。从2月份开始，拼车公司必须将巡航费率从目前的41%下调5%，之后再下调10%。不遵守规定可能会导致罚款，甚至无法在该市运营。

The rules are aimed at reducing congestion in Manhattan, where ride-share vehicles make up close to a third of peak time traffic, according to the TLC.

根据TLC的说法，这些规定旨在减少曼哈顿的交通拥堵，在曼哈顿，共享车辆占高峰交通的近三分之一。
