    They certainly charge enough to pay these people that much, I can’t find any concrete numbers but it seems like the consensus is that the ride share company takes between 25% and 75% of the ride profit. What a racket

      And somehow still can barely break even.

            No. They’re apparently not profitable because they invest in smaller companies, hoping they’ll go huge, and those companies haven’t panned out.

            If they would stop doing that, they’d be profitable.

    A girl I dated a few years ago basically went from gainfully employed to poverty without changing any of her behaviors thanks to Lyft just continuously sucking ass and reneging on every perk and pay structure. I have no idea what she’s doing now but I doubt it’s driving. I hope she’s getting a fat settlement check.

    This is HORRIBLE! How will they INVEST in their Workers if they are forced to PAY their Workers?

      You don’t invest in independent contractors, that’s the disruptive part taps forehead
