It would be interesting to let passengers have a slider that let them show how price sensitive they were and the drivers were able to set a minimum price for total (driving to passenger + driving to destination). Maybe you'd be willing to wait for 15 minutes if Driver B would be cheaper than Driver A, even though Driver A was 3 minutes away.
Even better (if drivers are really treated as contractors) would be to show you the rates from Driver A, Driver B, and Driver C and you can pick one:
Driver A: 23 minutes, $20
Driver B: 35 minutes, $15
Driver C: 30 minutes, $18
The issue for Uber/Lyft is they're focusing on the ride and that's nice - I don't know that drivers rejected me since they're just showing the ride cost from Point A to Point B. But that ignores actual driving time for the drivers, plus that they might end up in an undesirable area.
