San Francisco seeks court order to force Uber, Lyft to disclose records
San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera said Friday his office is seeking a court order to force ride-hailing companies Lyft and Uber to comply with the office's subpoenas, filed in June, that seek records on the companies' driving practices, disability access, and services in the city. Petitions in the San Francisco Superior Court "are aimed at ensuring Uber and Lyft's estimated 45,000 drivers in San Francisco do not create a public nuisance," according to a statement. The companies were given "multiple opportunities" to comply with subpoenas but haven't done so. Lyft wanted "unreasonable provisions" to comply and Uber objected to the subpoenas and refused to produce documents or data, according to the statement.
