Comment on: New Initiatives for Lyft Drivers
>You'd have to get drivers to voluntarily give a cut of their take home to pay for insurance, the car, etc. without having a way to track what they actually make.This is exactly what they do now, they just don't pay Uber, they pay those companies directly. But as a company with employees, they could negotiate a deal to get cars for cheaper, negotiate a better insurance rate, and save the driver the hassle.But then we've come full circle, inviting regulations that drive up costs. This is an attempt to stay on the edge of that.
