The Boston Globe reports that the lawsuit filed in federal court on Friday accuses the city of destroying the value of the medallions that taxis must buy to operate, and asks unspecified monetary damages.
A city spokeswoman said officials hadn't received the complaint Friday and will review it. A city advisory commission has been examining the regulations.
The lawsuit also challenges proposed state rules to have the Department of Public Utilities regulate ride-hailing services as "transportation network companies." The legislature hasn't approved the proposal. The lawsuit asks a judge to stop the state from enacting it.
