There's hope though. Drivers practically only develop enough margin if their cost per mile decreases - and the best ways to do that are for it to be a trip they are already making, it to be a pool, or to be delivering food at the same time - or shorter rides with fixed pickup costs. And as prices rise as profitably is sought, passengers will look for ways to reduce their trip needs, incorporating public transit again. Unfortunately, neither of these models supports the number of drivers currently in the system.
