LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A state official says the ride-hailing service Lyft paid $3,000 to settle a complaint filed by Nebraska regulators.
The Nebraska Public Service Commission accused the San Francisco-based 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.
The commission's Mark Breiner said Friday that the commission typically doesn't include the amount of fines in its orders. He also said the settlement with Lyft did not include any provision for keeping the amount confidential.
