I'm launching a more democratic, market-oriented and driver-centric platform for the ride-sharing inustry in the Rio Grande Valley (south Texas). With uber and Lyft taking a bigger slice of the revenue pie, drivers are losing more income as passengers pay ever-higher fees.

If you drive for Lyft, you should have received your "annual report" (not the official 1099) which provided you with some interesting information. The most useful info you can take from this is that it tells you what percentage of total revenues collected from your pax, including service fees, is more than 25%.

And if you compute your revenue per mile, keep in mind that the Federal reimbursement rate is about 60 cents/mi. This rate represents the average cost of operating a vehicle, including gas and depreciation. Any amount over that rate is what you are being paid for your time.

Assuming that you have no wait time, this is what Lyft is paying you to transport their pax. Why not increase your income by reducing wait times, keeping more of your income, and accepting rides we secure for you?

We are a startup and we invite you to take a look at how we are organized. Visit us at www.prodirversguild.org and help us grow an organization that is driver-centric.

Is it me, or is FB displaying more third-party posts that I didn't want nor want to see? I know ads pay for this service, but at some point, it just gets too much.

I don't often (if ever) agree w/Rep. Rand Paul (R-Ky), but on this one, I agree w/his efforts to remove the FISA clause. The original intent was to make it easier to go after terrorists, but like many 9/11-related laws, FISA has been abused and used, more often than not, to violate our civil rights.

If you agree, please contact your elected reps. It is renwed every five years.
