I somehow have the feeling that trusting multiple smaller companies with the trip data is a lot better than having a central authority, which is also the government owning all that data in one place.

Government already runs healthcare, public transit, the telephone net, post etc, what difference does this make? If they want your location data they already got it from your phones network connection. Alternatively they could just regulate the field and set a cap on how much the rideshare app provider can take, ensuring that drivers get most of it and the provider just gets enough to keep the service running. Lots of fields are regulated this way, the important part here is that automation profits shouldn't all end up at a few huge corporations but instead get distributed to the workers.

  In many cases it's single-payer rather than government-run.
