UBER features a rather easy driver sign up program but finds that shared driver accounts or utterly bogus identities are causing problems with regulators. Several USA cities have investigated but London just refused to renew uber's license due to massive numbers of false or shared identities.

I haven't used Uber in over a year,
their drivers suck. Lyft is just
as fast, cheaper, and never had
a problem so far.

Don't most Uber/Lyft drivers drive for both?

I think so and they share the same booking sites/rates.

I am in Vancouver and shocked that they still don;t have Uber or Lyft approved. Using taxi's stinks.

Some do, most don't. I always ask.

I would say that in Las Vegas most of them do.

"https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/12/16/amazon-chevron-and-starbucks-among-91-fortune-500-corporations-paid-0-federal-income" All those drivers thought it was fine and dandy when they were cutting cabbies throats, now that they're finding out what it costs to run a company [which each driver of their own vehicle is] they want basically what taxi's wanted while Uber was gutting them.

If the cab drivers unions accept these people, I hope they do so with prejudice.

I thought you were against companies paying federal income tax anyway?

But, yeah, I have mixed feelings about drivers being IC vs employees.... I think if they want to play the IC card, great, but they need to allow drivers to reject or accept rides at will with no repercussions, and also set minimum rates. The way it currently is formulated its basically being an employee with the benifit of paying all of the expenses of running a car....
