Napkin ways to completely blow this up:
1) Write a script to answer requests without ever intending to pick up.
2) Get out of the car, don't transfer the other half.
3) Sign up as a driver, and wait until you find an attractive/rich fare. Lock doors and do what you will.
Deregulation is not the answer for everything. Uber/Lyft works precisely because they are very well regulated to stop the cases I outline above, and more.
- narrator 12y agoIf you answer and don't show up then the first half of the fare is not transferred from the client and this leads to a bad reputation. Same for #2. #3 can be avoided based on reputation previously gained. Maybe some sort of signup payment with a trusted vetting authority.
