San Francisco Supervisor Matt Haney accused Uber of redlining after it cut off access to Uber Eats for Treasure Island residents, citing the city’s new caps on food delivery commissions.

“New regulations mean we can’t deliver to you,” Uber wrote in a message to Treasure Island customers, referring to the city’s April 10 emergency order that temporarily capped delivery commissions at 15%. The order, to remain in effect during the local state of emergency or until restaurants can host in-store diners, is designed to aid struggling restaurants whose sole income now derives from delivery or takeout orders.

“We have had to revise the areas Uber Eats can deliver to in the city. Unfortunately this means we cannot continue serving customers in Treasure Island,” Uber wrote.

Uber, which is headquartered in San Francisco, said its delivery service just added Treasure Island on April 3 — meaning Uber Eats was available there for only three weeks. It said that the island is the only part of its San Francisco service area affected now.

Haney blasted the move, noting that Treasure Island is 10 minutes from downtown without traffic and includes low-income communities of color.

“This isn’t about cost. This is retaliation,” he tweeted. “And it is blatantly discriminatory. I’m disgusted by this. ... This is redlining for political intimidation so they can make bigger profits in a global pandemic.”

Treasure Island is 10 min from downtown without traffic. There haven’t even been many deliveries overall.



They are a company worth billions. This isn’t about cost.



This is retaliation. And it is blatantly discriminatory.



I’m disgusted by this. @Uber this is shameful. — Matt Haney (@MattHaneySF) April 24, 2020

“We are working to comply with the San Francisco order in a way that minimizes disruption to the safe and reliable services that our users deserve,” Uber said in a statement. “Unfortunately though, the restrictions imposed by this order forced us to update our service area to reduce operational costs. We remain hopeful that the temporary changes that companies were forced to make won’t further hurt those that we’re trying to help the most during this time: customers, small businesses and delivery people.”

Uber has been known to conduct campaigns rallying drivers and customers against local regulations or even individual politicians it disagrees with.
