Denver rideshare drivers just launched a worker-owned co-op - High Country News
A new alternative to Uber and Lyft aspires to give workers more income and more say over their working conditions.
Sorry if it's pay walled.

the app is called Co-op Colorado.
the website for the co-op is https://www.coloradodrivers.coop/
it is developed by https://driver.systems/
Thank you! I’ll check it out and spread the word. We need more of this sort of thing.
Bengaluru, India, set up something similar. It’s called Namma Bengaluru, and it’s usually much easier to get rides here than on Uber or Ola (their local Uber competitor) since all the money goes to the driver instead of having to split it. However, I believe it’s open source instead of a worker owned co-op.
Isn't India where Uber drivers will show up, cancel the ride, and then haggle with you on how much they're willing to drive you for? I heard that's the norm in some country...
I don’t remember for certain, it was a while ago, but I believe that Uber penalises drivers who cancel too many rides
This is amazing and I'd love to see this in my community!
