I mean if you're looking at the actual statistics nearly a third of drivers nationwide are Asian (which includes Arab/Indian) and a high percentage are first-generation immigrants so it's an important aspect to mention. Especially since exploitation of immigrant and minority workers has been a historical issue for the last 100+ years.

10 years ago I drove for Uber. I made $2/mile Uber only took 20% of the fare...........they provided the phone and the cell data. Fast-forward 10 years and Uber is paying 67 cents a mile, no phone no data and they take up to 70% of the fare Costs have gone up for everything. Have you been to a mechanic lately? Car insurance? Food? Health Insurance? Dental? Uber drivers pay for all of the above. And Uber/Lyft has the audacity to say we're LEAVING! because they don't want to pay!?? Who pays for this? The Driver. Meanwhile Metro bus drivers avg $35/hr full benefits. Could you imagine if the Bus Drivers had to pay for the Bus, maintenance, Insurance, gas and had to keep the bus clean inside and out? And they Have transit police! All for a service that loses millions of taxpayer dollars, annually. But you can't pay drivers, a similar wage to a bus driver. when Uber/Lyft is making billions and not losing millions like the taxpayer funded Metro Bus! The State of Minnesota begged for crumbs and got it! Congrats on nothing!

@cooch... You do realize Uber made its first profit in Q1 2024 of $1.9B... yet since they went into business, they have lost over $43B. So at this rate of a $1.9B profit per quarter, they will be at break even in the year 2030. By the way, Lyft has yet to make a profit.

Do you really think for a minute that Uber couldn't be profitable? They have a fleet of millions of Taxis that they don't pay for! No maintenance, no insurance, no vehicles to purchase, no taxi fees, no gas to purchase, no nothing, but an app. My 14 yo son can make an app! I'd love for just a few drivers willing to do this for me! I'd be rich. Uber is the pimp, drivers are ho's. Ho's don't make money.

I past many of the MULDA drivers sitting in the cage on Post Rd by the airport the other day doing nothing but waiting for a magical ride that's going to pay all their bills - While i have done 4 airport runs back-to-back and they are still sitting and talking . The 30% of us drivers do 2/3 of the Rides in Minnesota and making a good living - But now your going to reward drivers like many in the MULDA group who simply are not productive and can't run there own business

Uber and lyft are going to be upping their fees to rid that "20%" and there 0 way for MN to stop it... if MN actually looked at the fees and how much it chunks its, you can raise the min and mile all you want, when those fee kick in it makes it moot...

I understand that point of you, but one thing you don’t realize is how little drivers actually make. This is not like the old days my drivers made 75% or 80% of what the customer paid, sometimes they’re literally making 30% of what the customer pay. But then the driver has to use that 30% to pay for their time, fuel, car maintenance. This is not Uber from five years ago, the model is vastly different. And there’s no transparency.
