"knowing your driver has been working for 16 hours and still hasn't earned enough today to pay rent or pay for fuel?"
See, that's the part I take issue with. That's pure assumption. Lots of my drivers have been college students working part-time for some extra cash on the side, not full-time workers trying to support themselves. I usually tip my drivers too since I know the base price isn't much.
That said, I know it's not a perfect system and it has its own problems. Still, I do view it as a voluntary arrangement, and often driving is a better option for people than working at a fast food joint or a similar minimum-wage job.
What type of regulations on Uber and Lyft would you propose?
