<p>Oregon is proposing an 80/20 fare split for Uber and Lyft drivers—drivers get 80%, apps get 20%. Sounds like a win… but what if it actually leads to fewer rides, more waiting, and less money per hour?Daily Drive 2222In this episode of the Daily Drive Podcast, I break down the real economics behind the 80/20 rule using simple math, real Uber driver earnings, and supply & demand. I walk through how a $30 ride could turn into a $50 ride—and why that matters for both drivers and passengers.We’ve already seen a version of this play out in Seattle, where higher mandated pay initially boosted earnings… until orders dropped. Fewer rides + more drivers = more competition and less opportunity.This isn’t just about Uber’s take rate. It’s about supply, demand, and who actually controls ride distribution.If you’re an Uber driver, Lyft driver, or thinking about rideshare, this is a must-watch.</p>
