Exceptionally low rates means the cars that are picking people up are not the quality of cars people want to be riding in, nor the quality of drivers they want

Exceptionally low rates means the cars that are picking people up are not the quality of cars people want to be riding in, nor the quality of drivers they want to be riding with.
- jimmywanger 10y agoYou're conflating two things - the low rate paid by the riders and the rate paid to the drivers. As long as the drivers are getting paid well, whether it be from fares paid by riders or by VC subsidies, it will attract "quality" cars and drivers. A separate issue is the sustainability of subsidizing driver wages from VCs by keeping rider fares artificially low.
