Sina Tech News reported on the morning of September 22, Beijing time, that Uber filed a lawsuit against the New York City Taxi and Luxury Vehicle Commission this week. The lawsuit focuses on a new regulatory measure introduced by the agency to ease traffic congestion. Uber believes that this regulation is arbitrary and unattainable.

This lawsuit, filed in the New York State Court in Manhattan, hopes that the court ruled that the regulatory regulations passed on August 7 were invalid. The regulations require that a maximum of 31% of the time a hired vehicle can travel on the road without a passenger, while another provision prohibits the issuance of more taxi licenses until August 2020.
