Drivers of cabs and ride hailing services like Uber and Lyft, who work as much as 12 hours a day, struggle to take a comfort break.

Three suspects have been stealing drivers’ phones and using them to transfer themselves at least $37,000 in cash, according to the NYPD.

It’s not that these drivers are making below the new minimum, it’s that it has become much harder to make more, local drivers say.

TLC Commissioner David Do on Wednesday called the rideshare companies’ practice of freezing drivers out of the app “harmful, unnecessary and unacceptable.”
