(Bloomberg) — Uber Technologies Inc. car-sharing service competitor Lyft Inc., which said it planned to begin operations today in New York City, was sued by New York officials who claim it's flouting licensing laws.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Superintendent of Financial Services Benjamin Lawsky sought a temporary restraining order against the company, arguing in a complaint filed today in Manhattan state court that Lyft hasn't complied with state and local regulations.
“As it has done in every other city in which it operates, defendant has simply waltzed into New York and set up shop while defying every law passed whose very purpose is to protect the people of the state of New York,” Schneiderman's office said in the complaint.
