Works great for me. I can get in my car at any hour of the day, and make at least a quick $35. $32 after accounting for fuel, maintainance, and depreciation. Literally, any hour. Not a bad way to waste some time and listen to a podcast or two. Maybe some people need to think more about what their market will support. Can’t make a living chopping fire wood in Key West. Seems like the problem is that not everyone knows to evaluate economic opportunity. If I was in weak market and needed rideshare to support me and my family, I would just drive somewhere where it would do that. If that meant a month or two in a roach motel grinding out 16 hour days until I could afford a house in my new city, that’s what I would do. Also, how are you calculating $0.75 per mile cost? A semi truck is about $2.00 per mile, while getting 6 mpg and needing $6000 worth of tires.
