Oddbean new post about login | logout Great article on how #Uber has become profitable by bilking it's passengers and drivers... https://www.forbes.com/sites/lensherman/2023/12/11/ubers-ceo-hides-driver-pay-cuts-to-boost-profits/ #newstr #grownostr
This is why we desperately need decentralized ride-sharing. When will someone build this on #Nostr? nostr:nevent1qqst9dj9uryn74gfr6h2mx8gza00g8tuyzz6xwzlmwn5xjqftmp7jrspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyr77ffn6v4s8jkhmq03av9p3ehrtlyzx6zt3s4kj7ewxs372enkpyqcyqqqqqqg9pvnpe
Uber gets 50% cut from each ride! It’s fucked
Is Lyft better?
I don’t do Lyft. But heard that it’s about the same pay and it’s less liquid than Uber. So you have less rides
#Nostruber #Ubstr #lyftstr Pay with lightning, review your rider on Nostr, keep the 50%
I would be down to test this here in Chicago if someone will build it 😁
Yeah, need a way to optimize connecting riders with travelers. But the less optimized version of that is totally doable right now - just need an npub and a lightning wallet! DM to set up rides. Tag to rate. Zap to pay.
Riders with drivers*
Me too, in San Francisco. On building it, it might be helpful if it had it's own dedicated relay(s).
Taxi-str? Nostraxi? Taxistr? Taxstr? Driverstr? Haha Don’t so much love the second to last one… I’d like to not see Uber leave not in the tag, but maybe they should be there.
