No but they also don’t have to do any of the other shit drivers do, like get qualify for medallions etc.
Both jobs have their hidden costs.
Comment on Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis if the mayor signs a minimum wage bill for drivers
usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 1 year agoDo taxi drivers typically have to own/maintain/insure their own cars? I’ve always thought those were all paid for by the taxi company.

Usually not but if you put a dent in it you get the terrible one in the worst areas for a while as punishment. Assuming of course they don’t just cancel your shift. That is why it was important to always note the scratches. I put a bumper scratch in once and was ordered to do the inspection line up. 2 hours of sitting there not making any money. If I leave I have no job the next day. Ended up quitting that week.
