Is anyone tracking these platforms? Today coincidentally I got a Lyft from the airport to home and due to traffic it would take 1 hour, the price asked was $125. Ok steep, but the poor driver would be stuck with me for an hour.

BUT NO! I asked the driver and at the end of the trip he kindly showed me how much Lyft gave him.

$62 before tip.





That looks suspiciously close to 50%. Does anyone know what's the usual cut of these platforms?

I would like to know that too. I would have never thought it was 50%

I would love to see some innovation in this space like India's ONDC and more Direct-to-Driver apps.
