> Overall, it really just sounds like you are armchair-postulating without any grasp whatsoever on the industry... No, I was proposing a employee owned version of Lyft. For onboarding screen you use something like "already has 100+ drives with 5+ star rating" or similar. > You can't really have your cake and eat it too. True. Rather than paying shareholders and drivers an employee owned company only pays the driver. They are recruiting from the same pool of drivers.

Onboarding often requires things like criminal background checks, medical exams, city-issued permits, driver license validation, training, etc. You can't just show your Uber driver profile screen to Lyft to qualify as a driver for Lyft. You're in for a world of trouble if your onboarding flow is: "oh, I see you drove for Lyft for ~2 weeks, welcome to being one of the company owners, here are some health benefits!" > Rather than paying shareholders I just told you Uber/Lyft shareholders get zero dollars out of the operational money.
