Rideshare services - Uber, Lyft, Hailo, etc.

looking forward to Uber collapsing/being litigated out of business tbh

We don't need another category.

how about masters and slaves

the thing is they are employers

suck it, shitty companies:

This is huge not only for the obvious, but also because Uber will have to argue the *exact opposite* legal framework as it does in opposing AB5. The legal walls are closing in. https://t.co/RxnILrYb3t

'130-year-old laws don't count'

“We believe we have a clear path to profitability,” Roberts said. “We began to adjust prices on select routes and in select cities based on costs and demand elasticities. We expect that these changes will accelerate Lyft’s path to profitability, and further, we believe these price adjustments reflect an industry trend.”

So they plan to fix prices (in collusion with their competitors) and then expect not to suffer any reduction in demand...

lollllll

cost and demand elasticities! impress man use big words!

If humanity is still around in 10 years, someone please revive this post in 10 years for the lols.

uber and lyft shouldn't even be allowed to pick up at airports -- it's like an enormous game of hüsker dü

I feel like I am a luber driver in another dimension.

Who among us hasn't accidentally intentionally had someone killed

I'm sure in five years, his family will laugh about it.

It looks like Uber has been denied a license to operate in London as TFL found thousands of cases where they ID of the driver didn’t match the person actually doing the driving.

Interesting to see if this will extend to Uber Eats - tons of undocumented ppl from Brazil (and elswhere, I assume, but my connections are w/ the Brazilian community) driving for them, six or seven ppl sharing one ID. A friend who's involved told me the running joke is to say the vehicle's registered to Bolsonaro.

They can still operate while appealing so this will make no difference for now

I was at a licensing event largely focusing on taxi drivers last week and got a sense that a perceived issue with ride-share apps is raising regulatory barriers for traditional drivers as well. The guy from Uber referenced the idea that some of the new rules are, in part, motivated by xenophobia.

I’m fully on board with banning them from the entire country but there has to be a way of mitigating the impact on the (mostly minority) drivers.
