I totally agree that -- under this law -- if you log in and dont get a ride, you should be paid a fair. My question was -- what if you log in to Uber AND Lyft simultaneously (as most drivers do) and dont get a ride. Do you get 2x the fair wage?

Also, doesn't this incentivize drivers to intentionally be "on the clock" in places and at times where they won't get rides? I can't just decide that Starbucks has to pay me to be behind the counter from 2-5 AM every day, but right now, I can decide to be available on Lyft then. Presumably this will lead to some sort of tighter geofencing, or caps on how many drivers can be active at a given time? This is before you get into weird things around locality. If I live outside of Seattle, but drive into Seattle to do some Lyft driving, does this apply to me? What if I take a ride that starts outside of Seattle, but ends up in the city? Or if I pick up someone in Portland and drive them to Seattle?
