Yeah that&#x27;s one I don&#x27;t quite understand either.  From what I understand, if we put aside the ratings system, these platforms are easier to work with than traditional taxi services, where you were leasing vehicle and medallion from them.  Here at least you can dip your toes if you like and stay or you can go as you wish.<p>People talk about reimbursements for gas and mileage which they&#x27;d be owed if employed.  But dont they know this to be the case beforehand and still accept the terms?<p>I think people are seeing these valuations based on potential (platform, automation, etc.) and perceive it to be based on current services model and thus feel left out of the future windfall.<p>In any case, drivers have an expiry date in the not too distant future, so grab what you van now.
