Topic	Minneapolis city council calls Uber and Lyft's bluff, sets rideshare pay hike
Block_that_Kick 03/07/24 4:54:26 PM #10:	kelemvor posted... Is there any kind of app (like Uber/Lyft) that coordinates with local, independent taxi services and just charges a small percentage or subscription to the driver? That way the actual driver can set their own fares and negotiate with the clients in the way they want to conduct their business while the app developers get a small cut as a finders fee or something. Well, thats the way its supposed to work. Uber and Lyft say that their drivers are contractors. If that is the case, then the drivers should be able to set their own prices at their own financial risk, and Uber and Lyft are merely the platform to provide those services. But Uber and Lyft do not allow that to happen, and they never have. --- The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off. <cite>Block_that_Kick posted [p:979243994] in Minneapoli...
