Assuming the mile and minute rates being the same, if another rideshare company showed up with a straight 25% cut of what the passenger paid and turn over the rest to you, would you still drive for U/L?
Would you drive for a company that only takes flat 25% from what the passenger pays or continue with Uber & Lyft?

I would drive for that company exclusively if there were enough ride request. If I was waiting too long in between request I would still drive for Uber. Lyft more so than Uber is the one taking more than 25% at least on my trips.
So, how Uber and Lyft used to be?
Yeah, assuming they had customers and I'd be working as much as I can on u/l...
I always believed in quality over quality since I started driving, I rather do one rode for 30 them 3 rides for 30 in an hour. Why is everyone buying this crap uber is selling, the busier the driver is the more money they make, it's B.S. that would the case id rates were 1.25 a mile and 35 cents a minute on X, not for 60/21
