NEW YORK: A New York state judge on Monday ruled in favour of Uber Technologies Inc and Lyft Inc in a lawsuit against New York City, striking down a new rule limiting how much time drivers for ride-hailing services can spend cruising streets in busy areas of Manhattan without passengers.

Monday's decision marks a win for Uber and Lyft in their largest US market, where regulators have passed the toughest ride-hailing rules of the country and forced both companies to adjust their business models.The ruling does not affect New York City's other laws regarding ride-hailing, including a cap on the number of app-based, for-hire cars and minimum pay for the city's 80,000 ride-share drivers.

"We look forward to working with state and city leaders to address New York City’s transportation challenges with the only true solution to congestion: comprehensive congestion pricing," Lyft said in a statement.
