    I’ve always found it backwards that customers are the ones setting the price. When I open the app, I want a list of like top 10 closest drivers and their rates. Then again, I don’t use Uber, we have something else where I live.

      Yeah, we’re considered contractors legally, not employees, so we should be able to set contract rates. We don’t set the rates, though, Lyft or Uber does.

      There are some apps that allow drivers to set their own rates (Empower seems to be one), but they don’t serve my area, and even if they did they’re probably vastly less popular to use exclusively right now until they pick up traction.
