Let's GOOOOOOO!!!!! Wridz, we're pulling for you!
The 300 hunnid
I love seeing these other companies come along. Uber and Lyft don't have to be fair if they don't have to compete.
@@bluesd0079 you're talking about $30/month for a subscription vs $4000+/month for fees through U&L. Airport fees are like $5 every time you go in the airport and leave. This will just get charged to the passenger. And commercial insurance on each trip is relatively cheap... Like a couple dollars per trip. Of course that varies by state.
Bye bye uber and Lyft, we won’t mess you ripping us off!!
If it is so good why couldn't it already beat Uber and Lyft in the market?
@@Liberty-rn4wy Uber and Lyft monopoly
@@Bartetmedia Uber and Lyft are separate companies. LMAO. Look up monopoly in the dictionary and then come back.
@@bluesd0079 You mean fare, not fair, right?
@@Liberty-rn4wy yes but you get the point of them charging a subscription fee then deducting other fees like insurance and airport fee from what the customer pays. They are double dipping. The initial subscription fee should cover everything.
California drivers are waiting for this new app.
There a new one called better ride something. I've had Two ubers talk abt that in socal
@bluesd0079 Any rideshare app is better than Uber/Lyft these days.
As a Uber driver in LA it saddens me how low the fares have gotten given to us by Uber & Lyft! I hope Wridez makes its way to California.
I doubt it since a lot of Insurance companies are leaving and not renewing insurance policies
Yeah with all of the crazy laws that you people voted for in California nobody's starting up any businesses out there. In case you haven't noticed everybody's leaving California dude. Even the liberals that voted for this stuff are leaving because they can't believe how stupid they have been.
@@bluesd0079blue you have the same post on multiple comments! Seems to me your a bot bot bot
@@jrmontelongo88 that’s because I think everybody misunderstood. The person on the news said they’re going to charge us subscription fee plus deduct insurance and airport fees from the passenger. do you understand that this new app is trying to charge a subscription fee from the drivers then deduct insurance and airport fees from what the customer pays. Then what’s left for the driver? This subscription fee should cover everything. Why are you charging me a subscription fee if you’re already charging insurance and other fees from the passenger?
@@bluesd0079we should allow this company to flourish as it is being created to provide fair driver pay! We should judge it until we start driving for it and see the results for ourselves
Wridz is a lor better than screwber and gryft!
Riiiiight, keep telling yourself that lol
If Uber and Lyft required drug testing...... both companies would be crippled in a few days.
GET W ridz in NYC ASAP PLEASE
The drivers need to just stop driving for Uber and Lyft and start pushing these other gig companies. They may struggle in the beginning but the riders will soon catch on.
The only way Uber and Lyft can continue doing what they are doing is because the drivers keep driving for them. Where the drivers go the riders will follow
💯
Going good with indrive in Miami.
Making 30% more than uber
@@sueellenmcgoey6095 That might be so but they suck at communication. We were connected through WhatsApp and then crickets. They have no responded to my inquiries in a couple of weeks. Wtf!
Wait a minute. First the driver pays a subscription fee. Then the airport fee and insurance fee is also deducted from fair, what’s left for the driver? It seems like this app is charging a subscription fee and also deducting insurance fees and other fees from the fare. They are double dipping. The initial subscription fee should cover all the costs of the insurance and everything. They should not be deducting anything else from the fair since the drivers already paying a subscription.
@@bluesd0079 I see you posting this in other replies… bot.
drivers push uber/lyft OUT. SHOW THEM WHO IS THE BOSS
Uber driver many times get paid 10.00-11.00 dollars for that same ride. Looking better already.

Finally some competition. Thank you guys
Bye bye uber&lyft for ever. Please don't come back again and take my stress with you
You people have no clue what you are wishing for.
@@Greghh1960 It’s you again, you think you know better than the drivers themselves? Go do something better instead of trolling here
@@davidlee1467 ->Notice how they only interviewed the drivers who were poor business people? I knew that would escape you.
@@Greghh1960 Dude, you don’t need to be a genius to figure this out, they taking 60 percent of the fare now, how successful can you be when they are taking so much? It’s not a rocket science problem, I’ve had enough arguments with you in the past, I really don’t understand why you’re on the side of Uber and Lyft, they are criminals, they’re being sued now by the state of Massachusetts for misclassifying drivers as independent contractors, come on man, I don’t wanna see you as a shill, but there’s no other way to explain why you’re supporting two criminal companies, this is such a black and white issue here, I’m literally speechless, how am I going to explain to you one plus one equals two? You really need that much explanation for this?
@@Greghh1960 there are way more “poor business people”, as you put it, than there are good business people… whatever that means!
The fact is that they squeeze the drivers and tax the riders when this wasn’t the case a while back. I’m pretty sure that when he Alabama bus boycott happened there were people who weren’t dissatisfied with the situation but they sacrificed for the better good because they were a community of people. We have lost that mindset and now we have a bunch of people who are happy as long as they do well even it is at the expense of the majority who we hear nothing but complaints from.
Let the system of RideShare continue down the path without resistance and it will eventually begin to touch those opposite of what you, yourself, call “bad business people”.
Wridz will soon raise its fees close to what Uber and Lyft charge. They have lots of expenses too . Just starting so they have to charge cheap so new customers can use them . Just give them a year
Yup. Every app starts off with good pay to entice drivers. Eventually they all will start to cut pay due to oversaturation. Its simply supply and demand.
Exactly lol
Doesn’t matter. They will have to abide by the rate per mile set
They can raise fees, or they can lower customer prices or what they pay to the driver. In each case, the driver will make less money.
Hey they need to be in Chicago, Nebraska and Missouri / Kansas City as Uber is ripping off drivers and passengers.
They're already in Chicago
Signing up for Wridz in Cincinnati.

Please come to Florida, we're tired of lyft and uber ripping us off
Why uber fighting to pay driver so little it's embarrassing saids alot about them lol.
It’s because they hate their drivers
@@claudykay6492 They don't hate their drivers, they just don't care.
I needed to get an Uber because the train stopped due to construction. Lyft wanted $20 for an 8 min drive
I hope the MN. politicians don't sell out the drivers like CA did with prop. 22.
Go move uber and left let’s goo wridz
Wridz stand for WIN!!! I'll join them!!
Plz. Do not accept Lyft or Uber if they come back !
The real talk is Drivers are getting good fares or Slavish fares like Uber and lyft. Passenger paying less means drivers getting less. American companies think we drivers are stupid.
They should’ve included what the driver payout was from each too not just the cost. I bet Uber was $12.59 & Lyft $11.43 for driver.
that would require lyft/uber to be transparent to customers up front
@@diggitydank420ity In Los Angeles, Both Uber and Lyft show the total cut the driver gets before you accept the ride
Uber DOES NOT show how much the rider paid to Uber
Lyft DOES show how much the rider paid to Lyft (but you have to go hunting for it AFTER the ride is done)

Good riddance Uber is a scam
Then Leave lol you don’t even pay your drivers fairly
Lyft Los Angeles Rate Card as of today: (its trash, Lyft takes 50% - 80% of the total paid) the rates are ALWAYS decreasing, they NEVER increase
$0.80 Per Mile
$0.13 Per Minute
$2.62 Min Rate
$300 Max Rate
$2.00 Cancel Min
$15.00 Cancel Max
$5.00 Sched Cancel Min
$15.00 Sched Cancel Max
InDrive is here in Florida and in the beginning it was all earnings for the drivers but now they take 30% of the earrings .. eventually they’ll take 50% like Uber and Lyft does . Hopefully wridz fixes this !
Uber and Lyft get the f out 💪
Needed in Massachusetts!
We need in Florida immediately
“If Uber and Lyft leave there won’t be competition or ho would we get to places” man some people were weird to bootlick these corporate masters
Come to Camden County NJ!
Please introduce the new app to other cities ASAP
I’m lucky wridz is an my state Chicago right now I’m signing up to try it
It doesn’t have a option to share trip status, which is a big safety issue for me.
Its not about the miles, its about what these company take...you can get $3 per mile and uber/lyft will take it all and even more back with their "uber share" and "commercial insurance". These company need to let drivers search for their own commercial insurance and let these companies take only 5-10%, greeedy bastards.

UBER AND LYFT LEAVE CALIFORNIA, TOO !
Bye-bye, Uber and Lyft! This sounds great! I drive in the DC metro area, but I'm all for this.
Lets go Wridz!! Please come to Miami Florida, Uber and Lyft are ripping us drivers off!
They take half of every thing we make, shame on them!! Uber & Lyft leave, we don't want you!
😂 its like taxi's dont exist in that city.
When in San Francisco ??????
Minnesota, please don’t capitulate. Stand up for your constituents. Texas Republicans backstabbed their constituents capitulating to override the stance the city of Austin took. Pay has been going down ever since. I make half what I did and when this car gets used up there’s no money to pay cash for another.
Just completed my application with Wridz and waiting for background checks to clear than I’m pulling out my 2024 Together Highlander out the door for Wridz. Bye bye Lyft and Uber please don’t stay and don’t come back to Minnesota!!!!
There go.
Uber often pays 37 cents a mile in Charlotte
There needs to be competition.
And this is EXACTLY what I KNEW would happen!!! LYFT and UBER and huff and puff all they want, if they do decide to 'leave' because they have to actually pay the workers now, there will be other companies just WAITING in the shadows to slide right up in there and take their place lmao! This is just the beginning, DD, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Instacart, Shipt etc., they're all next if they don't start paying!
Wridz, keep up the good work!!!!
Get wrid of the $1 a mile BS.
Taxis in our city charge over $3 a mile and charge wait time.
Yes! Complete with those Uber/Lyft A- holes! Leave! New companies need to break up that duopoly!
How dare you Minnesota officials. Allow a corporation to come into your State and tell you what to do. 1.40 for every mile. Not just when you pick the pax up, but driving to them as well.Grow some Balls or get Voted out!!
How much is the ride paying the driver ?
We need this in Los Angeles
Let’s go Wridz.
That’s the way it should be! The app company should take one cut and drivers keep everything else as us drivers pay for our insurance and maintenance cost and other operating cost associated providing the ride service.
I hope they come to Ca so I many more can benefit from their business model

So when thousands of people fly into MSP for conventions or other events and they will push their Uber or Lyft button like they do in every city, and nothing will happen. So then every day the information desks will be swamped with people asking about Uber and Lyft and they will be told hey you have to now download an app of a company you have never heard of before, Wridz, and then key in your credit card. What a joke. Clown-show. Minnesota is going to lose events due to this clown-show.
I’m downloading Wridz today. #blackout2024 #ADOS
I barley keep money and my risk my life on a daily level
For low pay.
This job needs high pay to keep car clean and well
To many factors

have u seen the fees from uber and Lyft its a whole page and drivers are left with very little of the fare..
@@aristirenunez yes I have. They are crooks. But this new app is charging a subscription fee. We should cover all the fees. But on top of the subscription fee there also deducting insurance fees and airport fees from what the passengers is paying. My point is the subscription fee should be enough to cover everything. There should be no other deductions.
Yesssss
Bring #Wridz into Singapore
I don’t remember doing a drug test for Uber. Why do drivers have to on this app.
please come to seattle wridz
Please cone to Sacramento wryds. Wrydz pay 100 percent . Im lucky to take home 20 percent with lyft
Now drivers and passengers have to pay for subscription. I am not a fan of this.
are you serious? LOL! Well, keep giving Uber & Lyft half or more of everything you make.
Would you believe me if I said that passengers haven't been paying the full cost of uber rides? These companies are trying to devise a system that is not only fair for everyone but also won't require big investor money to survive.
Its only a matter of time until Uber and Lyft will sweat and lose their business. Thats what they get for ripping off passengers and especially drivers like myself
Minimum wage won’t be an issue for Robo Taxi or Waymo. Sounds like a good opportunity for Tesla and Google. 😂
Oh, snap.
DEUCES UBER & LYFT 😂😂😂😂 BYE BYE AND HELLLLOOOOOOO “WRIDZ!”
In California,there is prop 22
Scam every city that came in with a minimum afterward is higher. I made more before 22 came along
They must pay over a dollar per mile or the new company would be no good !
Drivers keep 💯 of the fair so yea it will definitely be more then a dollar per mile
Drivers will have to pay a subscription to drive. I can tell you it wont be $9.99 lol
UberEATS and door dash have drivers with fake accounts 😮😮😮😮
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes finally
Uber will end up buying this app.😂
Lyft and Uber got exposed for using slaves as drivers. Let them leave. In fact. Let them leave the USA.
Uber and Lyft EXPLOIT drivers, pay LESS than minimum wage then the drivers have to pay ALL auto expenses . they can both go to hell in a handbasket
When in roam
Lol! Rome
good.
Sobornando a los estatales de USA...
Florida is next
#Fcc #Kgb Bangkok
Uber and lyft killer. 😂
Good
😂 love it end the monopoly
It’s unfortunate that the MPLS city council refused to listen to successful Uber and Lyft drivers.
F Uber and Lyft, they are the same company and should be made illegal nationwide
Yes they are definitely the same company
Leave! Go!!!
😅😅😅😅😅
Funny how they were comparing lyft lux , uber x and wridz basic ride..
See ya Uber!!!!
A little bit cheaper than uber&lyft. Im assuming driver is responsible for everything regarding safety, casualties, injuries, medical expense, liability etc. Wridz Uber and lyft are just rideshare brokers but in my opinion I think major rideshare broker companies like uber&lyft is better regarding safety, reliability and dependability and liability.
Just like Uber but the driver make more money . Uber and Lyft are scammers
No, they all provide the comercial insurance, in case something happens including wridz but Uber and Lyft in most cases tell you to go through your own personal insurance before you can make a claim with them and their comercial insurance is an scam , example you make a 1 hour and a half trip they will deduct about $49 just for their comercial insurance un whisk im sure they get that insurance for pennies on the dollar , bye bye Uber and Lyft , don’t let the door hit you on the way out
hahahaha NO
Wridz 💪🏽
Lets go wridz
Don't let uber and lyft leave, kick them out now.
Wridz in New Jersey please!!!!
F Uber, F Lyft, F Walz, and F Freyor.
Bye Uber 👋
Monthly Fee !!!!
So in the long run it will cost the consumer more.
Somalia 🇸🇴 mpls likes it....
What about other drivers not in mpls ? How come you never interview others? Only Somalia 🇸🇴 refugees ?!
Minnesota is the state of Somalia 🇸🇴 with their new Somalia 🇸🇴 state flag.. but there are others in the state right ?!
Stop lying mister Uber employee . Uber and Lyft are stealing from drivers
The driver is the only one that pays the monthly fee to access the wridz app. Not the passenger!
The driver pays subscription fee to work. It wont be $9.99. I can guarantee you that. Wridz has bills and employees to pay. Each software engineer earns $150k/year. If Wridz doesnt earn anything from fares, the its going to come out of your subscription fee.
@@gavinng3898 its falls between $25-$100 a month. Uber and lyft take way more that from drivers in a few days of driving.
