Drivers Cooperative wants to treat drivers better, but faces one big challenge.
Colorado rideshare drivers are supporting a bill to boost their paychecks by limiting a company's share of each ride fee.
After years of getting squeezed by Uber and Lyft, a national rideshare cooperative is offering drivers equity stakes that Silicon Valley refuses to grant.
A new ride share venture was just weeks old when Shawn Strain became one of its first Colorado Springs-based drivers in October.
Since leaving the corporate world, where he worked for years as a financial crimes investigator, he had put 4,600 Lyft rides under his belt and developed a love of driving. So when his daughter told him about the Drivers Cooperative — Colorado, he looked it up online and was intrigued by what he saw.
The goal of the co-op is to help drivers when it comes to pay and working conditions, while still providing cheap fares for riders.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – Uber and Lyft have a new, local competitor – and it's promising fair wages and better working conditions for its drivers.
