How about the workers and the customers ?? That’s why I am a fan of crowdfunding with utility tokens. People on HN have to realize there is more to capitalism than shareholder capitalism and extracting rents from ecosystems ;-)

The customers want to donate money to local taxi operators and drivers? The taxi drivers who barely understand what open source is? This can work, but definitely not through crowdfunding. This better works through say business associations, say a national taxi association (composed of all small/regional taxi operators). That association can allocate a small portion of the funds to build this open taxi framework.

  Donate? Customers would BUY utility tokens to use later for rides

  The truth is that I'd be happier donating to the project of a non-exploitative marketplace platform than tip a driver out of starvation while virtually all of the nominal rate goes to making a unicorn golden.
