Interviews with drivers revealed a litany of worries and complaints that are keeping them from coming back onto the road. https://www.businessinsider.com/uber-lyft-driver-numbers-below-pre-pandemic-levels-gridwise-chart-2021-4">https://www.businessinsider.com/uber-lyft...
Uber and Lyft say that demand from riders has reached or surpassed pre-pandemic levels, writes Tom Dotan ( @cityofthetown).

But when it comes to drivers, they still have a long way to go, according to new data.

But even if rider demand continues its upswing, Uber and Lyft won& #39;t be able to recover if they can& #39;t get enough drivers.

Interviews with more than 20 rideshare drivers revealed why many have been reluctant to return.

Some drivers said they& #39;re simply waiting for more of the public to get vaccinated. Others said they& #39;re still holding out for better offers from Uber or Lyft. https://www.businessinsider.com/why-uber-lyft-expensive-taking-long-driver-shortage-2021-4">https://www.businessinsider.com/why-uber-...
Drivers also said they are bitter about the passage of Proposition 22, an Uber- and Lyft-authored law that California voters passed in November 2020.

The legislation locked them out of a state-mandated minimum wage and healthcare benefits. https://www.businessinsider.com/why-uber-lyft-expensive-taking-long-driver-shortage-2021-4">https://www.businessinsider.com/why-uber-...
