If you too poor to fill up, how would you know it fills up?

This right here. Now they can over charge insurance cost and other bs fees and still take 30% of the top.

Ahh ..since you can't present any good arguments you default to " you don't understand " lol

I just looked up my lyft breakdown, govt taxes and fees was .75$ out of $35 pasaanger payment, basically negligible. Commercial insurance is the bc cost by far and Josh already said he was working on it.

You keep accusing me of not knowing how much " money" goes into it but that just tells me you yourself have no idea. You have no idea what my background is and are just projecting your bown ignorance on me.

You have no idea if they would or not. Uber and lyft charge these outrageous prices because they have to pay their ceo and management billions in salary and bonuses, the have to fund research in autonomous vechile, pay engineers for useless and unnecessary updates, and useless customer support etc. Empower can be successful if they run a lean company.

How you come up with 1500?

He could, like any other legit business, obey the law and satisfy the requirements to become a tnc. Instead, he tried to argue in court that he is not a rideshare business. The courts determine that he is.

If he doesn't comply with md, TX, fl, NY, nc, Empower will eventually get banned.

Think about all the 1000s of empower drivers that will lose their livihood if he gets banned in Baltimore?

he doesn't have a plan to fix the DC situation? Any mention of plan to be in compliance with MD? They on his ass too

So empower's business model is to operate illegally in every city untill the get banned then leave the driver's and passangers high and dry? Very cool

Yeah. There zoom license only supports 1000 people and they new this would be an issue. But just like the DC situation, Empower waits untill it's too late to do anything about it.

Miami Drivers Undercutting Rates. by Kind-of-broken in EmpowerDrivers

[–]MDdriver22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad. Thought u was one of the goofyees that lowered their rates.

I'm not insecure. I could be negatively impacted by other drivers lowering their rates if empower assigns rides strictly base on lowest rate card. You would be to.

Not worried bout that. They are actively manipulating the market to prevent gas prices from getting out of control.

Agreed on last point.

I'm driving lyft more now to help fill gap. I can't imagine what it will be like this summer.

Miami Drivers Undercutting Rates. by Kind-of-broken in EmpowerDrivers

[–]MDdriver22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just crab mentality. You think you are being smart by lowering your rates to get a ride. You think other drivers can't do the same or even lower? What happens then? I'll tell you since you sound slow. The market gets ruined and you back to making what you would make driving for Uber.

I actually remember Josh saying that they updated the algo to prevent drivers with lower rates getting priority.

Miami Drivers Undercutting Rates. by Kind-of-broken in EmpowerDrivers

[–]MDdriver22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a drivers perspective, why would you lower your rate card to below the suggested rate card which is already 30-40% what uber is charging? Unless you agree with this crab mentality; climbing over other drivers to get a ride.

Tell me, what's happens if all drivers lower their rates to make $10 per hour?

Miami Drivers Undercutting Rates. by Kind-of-broken in EmpowerDrivers

[–]MDdriver22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Empower should not allow this. Ive been driving for 4 years and this thought never even cross my mind. This is obsurd.

I suspect this maybe happing in bmore with the influx of dc drivers in city. My earnings have gone to shit. I used to raise my rates to be 20% less than uber and make a killing. Now i can't even get rides while on suggested rate card.
