Lyft deletes tone-deaf ad after furious backlash

Rideshare service, Lyft, is under fire after deleting a tone-deaf advertisement offering riders a reimbursement on the city's new controversial congestion fee it reportedly lobbied for.

On January 5th, New York became the first city in the nation to institute a fee for cars entering the central business district, quite to the dismay of many Big Apple and metro residents.

Lyft took the new policy as an opportunity to launch an ad campaign, heroically offering relief from the fee.
