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. this is shameful.— Matt Haney (@MattHaneySF)“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.
