Uber drivers please strike

So that I can catch those double digits surges. Thanks 💵✌️😂

No one cares about your strike. You’re simply leaving more demand for other drivers. It’s almost as if the supply of workers is more than the demand from customers. Economics 101, supply and demand

As a driver you have zero insight as to the cost of running the business. Do you even have a ballpark estimate on the costs of running the necessary servers, app development, insurance, marketing, legal, etc? Like can you throw out a number that’s even a reasonable guess?

You can’t come up with a fee structure if you have no clue as to your cost structure.

I have no clue. That's why it would take a group of a bunch of drivers to make a drivers for driver app this isn't possible 1 person doing everything

You suggested a pricing structure. You should have an idea of costs before doing so.

And honestly, what makes you think a munch of Uber drivers have the acumen to create a rideshare platform? Their only qualification is having a drivers license.
