Lyft, Uber, Instacart, DoorDash, and Postmates have raised over $110 million to back the November ballot initiative, which would make drivers eligible for minimum earnings, healthcare subsidies, and vehicle insurance but would not classify them as employees, meaning they would not be covered by the state's typical employment laws. A shutdown in California wouldn't be fatal for Lyft, but it would force it to make up some ground in its march toward profitability. Lyft's second-quarter adjusted loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, widened to $280.3 million from $204.1 million in the same period last year. The company's net loss narrowed, however, to $437.1 million from $644.2 million in the year-ago second quarter, on total revenue of $339.3 million.
