Lyft drivers question the company's future as a public company

New York As Lyft becomes a public company, there's one group of people that faces an uncertain future: its drivers.

Lyft, like Uber, built its business on the backs of drivers. Just this week, as Lyft was on its IPO roadshow, drivers for both Lyft and Uber organized a strike in Los Angeles over recent pay cuts. At the same time, the company is fighting the implementation of a first-of-its-kind minimum wage law in New York City -- and the debate over the classification of on-demand workers as independent contractors, and what that entitles drivers to, remains a heated issue.

On The issue of driver-less cars. Right now Lyft and Uber pay nothing for vehicles/insurance/maintenance. That’s on the drivers using their own vehicles now. How is going driver-less is going to translate to more profit? It won’t.

Fuck lyft. UberGang

I quit! The pay is inconsistent! Would drive 20 miles to pick someone up to drive them across town for 5 bucks!

Typical GREEDY company that doesn’t pay a living wage to the people that make them rich🤦‍♂️ GREED WILL END THE HUMAN RACE.

You mean being beholden to shareholders might not be in the best interests of workers? Color me surprised. lyft drivers should unionize.
