Ride-hailing service Lyft settles Nebraska complaint

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The ride-hailing service Lyft has paid an undisclosed fine to settle a complaint filed by Nebraska regulators.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports that the Nebraska Public Service Commission accused the company in July of failing to seek authority to operate in Nebraska and of operating illegally in the state for more than a year.

Lyft later applied for the authority, which was granted in September.

The commissioners agreed to close the complaint Tuesday, after Lyft paid the fine.

Mark Breiner, director of the transportation division of the Nebraska Public Service Commission, said Wednesday that the settlement includes a provision that the amount of the fine not be disclosed.
