The point is, you're not the one deciding the split. You don't think the majority of the revenue goes to you over the ride share company, do you?

- scarface_74 2y agoYou know the split because it’s a ratio that scales with the price. Just like when I sub contract as a W2 contractor with a third party firm. I know how much I’m going to net. The higher my asking rate is the more I’m going to make and the more the contracting firm is going to make.
- daveguy 2y agoOh, I didn't know that ride share companies allow the drivers to specify their rate! Oh, right. They don't.
- scarface_74 2y agoNo one gets to “specify their rate”. If I could, I would specify I want $700/hour when I do independent consulting. The drivers can decide whether a given rate is worth it to them given other alternatives like anyone else that’s the entire purpose of surge pricing to convince more people to drive when there is more demand
