Thank you. You seem to get the itch nearly completely. However you are missing one thing where Uber and Lyft have gone overnoard to the greedy side:
At least in California, driver pay, and what the customer paid are decoupled. There is no more "surge" per say, it's just a dynamic price for the user, which might be completely different than the one the driver has.
- username90 7y agoAh, I thought they just took a cut like most platforms. Kinda like Appstore or Steam.
- Jommi 7y agoThey started out with that, but I can't think of any other reason they changed it to the current model, except greed. And AFAIK this is only how it is in some US cities, like cities in California. In Europe they still operate at a standard of 25% cut.
- deaddodo 7y agoThis isn't the case anymore. Uber went back to ad hoc pricing in California after this all started.
