They exist, but those opportunities exist not in as numerous quantities because they are undercut by Lyft/Uber, which are only able to do so because they are operating unsustainably. The latter just need to either increase their prices to make the rideshare job more profitable and acceptable or, if that’s truly impossible as they suggest, I guess we’ll have to go back to cab rides.
- manigandham 6y agoUber/Lyft are both profitable in many markets. The system is perfectly sustainable. It's the service, not the price, that made the biggest difference for users. And this service requires having thousands of drivers able to start at a moment's notice, which is not viable under an employee-shift driven model.
- ironmagma 6y agoIf it’s so profitable, they should be able to pass on those profits to the drivers. If they were already doing that, we wouldn’t be where we are.
