(Minneapolis, MN) -- Uber and Lyft drivers in the Twin Cities metro say a proposed ordinance could end ride-share services in the area altogether.

The ordinance would ensure drivers make minimum wage and was vetoed by Mayor Frey last year, but a city council vote next week could override that veto.

Uber and Lyft say the ordinance is not realistic for them to stay in business, and Lyft says they could end their services as early as April if it gets approval.
