I just ordered a Lyft the other day and was talking to the driver on the way to the airport, he said a common route he drives is from Bozeman (MT) to Big Sky (for the ski tourists), the price is over 150$ on Lyft/Uber, and he ends up getting about 60-70$ from it max.
This type of cut, plus the massive false advertising that Uber/Lyft does via their apps in smaller towns, like telling you that your ride will be booked soon when there are literally no drivers available, have led to me just using prebooked car services when I can now. It costs a bit more, but they are 100% reliable in my experiences, more money is going directly to the drivers, and it supports the local economy.
