Is there any chance down the road of seeing open network cooperatives? I mean, the software isn’t _that_ hard. Why don’t the drivers take 100% of their money in exchange for being cooperative marketers?

Now, compare Uber: you provide your own car, but you pay no daily rental fee. You keep 70–75% of every fare (Lyft gives the driver 80%, and if you’re a full time driver with Lyft, you keep 100% of every fare.) For the 25–30% share that Uber keeps to equal a $100 Gate fee for a taxicab, the driver would need to generate $400 per day in fares. That’s the equivalent of $2000/week or $100,000/year!
