I would probably pay 20% more and wait twice as long to contribute to a worker owned coop with each ride. Come to sf asap!


The thing is that it shouldn’t have to cost more unless Uber is massively subsidizing rides. Once the platform is built the incremental cost of adding a driver or customer should be very low and, by cutting out an unnecessary rent seeking middle man, you have better margins.


Why not skip the wait, take an Uber, and donate 20% to the coop?


I want to disagree but this actually makes perfect sense...


The economics of charity won't solve those drivers problems.


because this would keep uber afloat a little longer and do a little more damage
