Uber sued New York City on Friday over the City Council's vote last August to impose a year-long cap on new licenses for ride-hailing vehicles. Uber's lawsuit seeks to reverse the cap and allow new licenses again.

New York's cap was designed to limit the number of vehicles on the road, reducing congestion and helping taxi drivers, who say their livelihoods were hurt by the influx of ride-haling drivers in the city. It also allowed the state of New York to set a minimum hourly rate for drivers, which Uber's rival Lyft sued to reverse earlier this year.
