Uber has become one of the most fascinating business stories of modern history. You can listen to an interview RSG had with Adam Lashinsky about Uber’s question for domination here, but needless to say, Uber’s has been controversial since day one.
Uber is a company that has gone public and made thousands of employees and early investors very happy people. While all these newly minted millionaires (or billionaires) are counting their money, over two million drivers will be fighting traffic to help get their passenger from point A to point B as quickly and safely as possible. For all these millions of drivers, Uber/Lyft have provided income that otherwise would not have been available.
For some drivers, Uber has been a godsend. It has provided flexibility and opportunity to immigrants who have few other options in this new world.
