I was talking to dancer that lost her license due to DUI. She Ubers or Lyfts (wasn't clear which one) to and from work. She said it is about a $30-35 fare each way.
She said she had 3 different drivers that she will text if they are available. They will pick her up off the books and she pays via BJ. Sounds like a win-win!
I guess the rideshare companies can't really stop this since nothing flows through their app.


Yeah, if she calls them direct, then for all Uber knows, they are off the clock. That's actually a pretty cheap BJ for the drivers.
