Uber was never meant to make drivers any profit to begin with. The model was to offset the cost of a commute that they were already going to make by ridesharing, with uber skimming some money off on each transaction. Uber realized that people were willing to work on incredibly small margins in exchange for 'flexibility" when people tried to turn driving into a full time job. Uber drivers are fucking themselves with Uber’s dick.
Yeah I actually really like the idea of a true ride sharing app. Think of people taking commuter rail from the city center out to suburbia. There are lots of people that need to go from the train station to their home everyday. Many of them live less 10 minutes apart. Carpools kinda work but what if someone is late, or the driver is sick etc etc. A true ride sharing service would be awesome.
Taxi services in some (many? most?) areas were abusing their monopolies, but I don’t think uber is the right way to fix that.
lmao we’re just making taxis again
Insert “alwayshasbeen.jpg” meme here… :/
The city should sell medallions that drivers can put on their car that allows them to drive a ride share.
Ah I see

We’re at step 2
And it’s not quite a free for all: drivers need their class4 license, right?
You DO have a class4 license, right?

I thought that’s what the cab drivers said when uber started in their cities
