I've heard this from Uber and some anecdotes (part of Uber marketing, I suspect); is there data? Maybe the drivers feel they need to work for whoever controls the most customers, for example.

No. So you're right. I probably can't claim "most drivers". But it being the biggest ride sharing service by far, it's difficult to argue that it isn't a strong choice.
- Frondo 11y agoIt's not ride-sharing. That's a marketing term, and totally non-descriptive of how Uber works. Ride-sharing seems more like what you'd see in developing countries, the private (unlicensed) taxis where someone with a car picks up a passenger from the side of the road for a few cents' (negotiated on the spot) fare. Uber is just a taxi service with a really fancy app and really dodgy employment (i.e. "you employees, you're all contractors!") practices.

I did not intend to imply you are doing marketing. I'm referring to, for example, op-eds in newspapers by happy Uber drivers.
