That's why I mentioned bonuses. You are getting paid more if no one wants to drive, but there is some kind of base payment you can expect to get.

- LatteLazy 6y agoI mean, what you're describing without realizing it is just a cab company except you pay everyone a 30+ hours a week for doing nothing on top of what you pay them for actually working... This is why cab companies don't already let drivers pick their own hours (assuming they don't use the uber-lite approach of people just hiring the cab\medallion).
- mqus 6y agoWhoa, uber/lyft are just cab companies with more flexible work-schemes? Tell me something new.
- LatteLazy 6y agoThe flexibility around time worked is contingent on flexibility around pay. Flexibility around pay is being banned.
- mqus 6y agoI get that some flexibility is lost. But I would argue that 1. It is by far not as bad as Lyft and Uber present this and 2. I think this is a good thing overall. Less payment flexibility means a more stable income. Sure, some drivers don't need that stability, but those who do need it, really need it and this is more important in my mind. The second point also fits into the narrative that this only benefits 1/5 of the drivers but that these drivers are doing a majority of the rides. I don't have a citation for that, so take it with a grain of salt :)
