Profile of People's Ride: a co-operative, driver-owned alternative to Uber
People's Ride is a co-op ride-hailing company in Grand Rapids, Michigan: drivers own the service in common and collectively decide how to spend its profits (for example, on deploying an app to go with its website); for-profit competitors like Uber take 30% commissions from their drivers and deliver them to investors, while People's Ride spends all the revenue paying drivers and improving the service.
Funny this comes out right when I was thinking about why someone has not created an opensource Uber type app that gets rid of the middleman aka Uber.
