I'm begging you to read up on the actual experiences of drivers for Lyft & Uber - there are dedicated subreddits.
Lyft and Uber are not leaving 60% of the money on the table to the drivers.

- brianwawok 4y agoAre you including tips and recruitment fee and driver bonuses?
- neon_electro 4y agoAbsolutely. No competent accounting would exclude those.
- yunwal 4y agoNobody is saying it’s a livable wage for a human. In many competitive markets drivers spend more time driving around looking for a ride than making money. But it’s still a huge cost to Uber/Lyft to pay people even if they’re paying a pittance.
- neon_electro 4y agoNeither me nor the person I was responding to mentioned the words "liveable wage". Want to respond to the 60% figure?
- yunwal 4y agoYes, 60% of the money including tip (which is a cost that gets passed onto the consumer and therefore reduces ridership) seems more or less correct to me. A forum where people to go to complain about Uber/Lyft doesn’t seem like a representative enough sample to refute that.
