Uber has all the cards here. They came with a system that enables the drivers to use their time more efficiently, which dropped the price for the end user. Also lowered the entry barrier. Almost anyone with a car, smartphone and a driving licence can do it, which is why they afford the high turn over.
Is it worth it trying to compete with them?
Definitely .
Will this lead to increased drivers profit ?
Not really. Because the value that they provide is massively accesible,and with the advent of autonomous cars, fully replaceable.
Bad times for taxi drivers are coming quickly, and there's not much anyone can do about it...
- cbHXBY1D 10y agoThey truly don't. They own the best technology but no driver OR customer loyalty. If a cooperative treats their employees better and with higher wages then why should the best, most active drivers stick with Uber?

- fineIllregister 10y agoIf a coop doesn't have to pay investors, they can split that between the drivers and the consumers. Customers will switch apps for cheaper fares, all else being equal.
