How Uber works
This Supreme Court judgment from two days ago (in which the Uber drivers won their claim to be employees and thus entitled to the minimum wage), actually contains a very good summary of how the system works for the drivers. Assuming Grab does the same, now I know why I often get quickly accepted by a passing driver who just keeps going in the wrong direction until I cancel him. He probably already has a PassApp passenger on board and just happened to be the geographically nearest driver as he sped past where I was.
Paras 6 to 13 is the relevant bit.

Re: How Uber works
California's Proposition 22 and Australia's Fair Work Commission have recently come down the other way.
Hopefully UK and Eu are a bit more civilised and economically savvy.
Personally i am pretty harsh on this - no way will i use the any part of the gig economy as it stands.
Retrograde, and really bad economic policy.
The West was built by sharing the wealth, primarily by giving fair wages and conditions to all workers. All kinds of businesses grew wings and The Ekomony boomed.
Unlike today, in this era of stagnant/negative real wage growth except for the galloping rich.
- and Uber et al are leading the push to smash all protections and decimate pay and conditions.
Once again - the new BigTech "disrupters" need to have their heads pulled in because they are taking us to places we don't want to go.
imo only
ps, Thanks for that doc, Arm ^^ I am just about to have a peruse.
