Took a 20 minute Uber today, cost me $19.89. Driver took home a little over $5. Uber's take is 75% - that seems surprisingly high. I would have expected a split closer to 50-50.

i know it’s an old idea but hoping p2p sharing networks can actually take off using farcaster identity for social proof uber, couch surfing, local buy/sell marketplaces, etc

People are trying, but I don't think it's working out. https://decrypt.co/112957/teleport-creators-raise-9m-build-decentralized-uber-rival-solana

i feel like without a social graph such as farcaster it wouldn’t work, but if i could see a bio, previous cast history, mutual friends, etc it might prob more so for airbnb/couch surfing than uber

Social graph can potentially sort the issue. It can also be solved by asking the drivers and passengers to stake some amount to use the system.
