PHILADELPHIA – A Philadelphia-based Lyft driver who alleged the rideshare app suspended her for a traffic citation that was later dismissed, and then refused to lift the suspension after the ticket’s removal from her record, has settled her litigation with the company.
Ebonee Chong first filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on June 18, 2020 versus Lyft, Inc. of San Francisco.
“Ms. Chong started working as a driver with Lyft, Inc. in May 2018. Driving for Lyft was Ms. Chong’s sole employment for nearly a year, and she relied on the income from Lyft to pay her bills and provide for her family. On or around March 8, 2019, Chong received a citation in Delaware County for rolling a stop sign,” the suit stated.

A frustrated U.S. Circuit Judge David Barron peppered Maine’s lawyers for insight. “If I conclude that their position is untenable, I’d like to know what is tenable,” the Obama appointee said. “Or do we have two untenable positions?”
