Thinking through this more. I've noticed that a lot of drivers work both Uber and Lyft (flexibility allows this). Would that go away in the employee model?

- manigandham 6y agoYes. While you can be employed by multiple companies, it's unlikely you'll have the flexibility to do so because they will implement shift schedules to maximize employee driving time and coverage.
- YuriNiyazov 6y agoYes. You can’t be on the clock at two employers at the same time
- Androider 6y agoI would think so, no more running multiple apps as a driver if you're employed. Because the pool of drivers for a particular company would be massively reduced as well, driver down-time between rides on their platform may be expected to significantly decrease, which was a major reason for running multiple apps in the first place. Basically the remaining drivers will essentially partition themselves into two pools, driving exclusively for either Uber or Lyft. I'm not saying anything about whether that's good or bad, but it seems a likely outcome.
- sb8244 6y agoThanks for taking it a step further. I didn't think about that perspective but I could see it playing out that way.
- tensor 6y agoIf the only option is to be full time I imagine it must. You can't bee full time on both services.
