Is anyone familiar with fare.coop ? I have heard about it in #pdx but don’t know where else it might be. The referral program feels like a scam to me.
But also i wish to stop using Lyft and Uber

**UPDATE: RIDE FOUND! Thank you for boosting, everyone!!!**

Can folks in & around #VictoriaBC please boost this post for me to expand reach to locals?

My driver for my Feb. 24-28 trip to #LakeCowichan is now very sick & won't be better anytime soon.

I need to find a replacement driver. I need transport from my South #Saanich home to LC on Feb. 24 - anytime after 1pm. I'll need transport from LC back home on Feb. 28 - anytime before noon.

I can pay driver to transport me there/back & help me load & unload luggage. I'm unable to use the IslandLink bus service because they don't have routes to LC.

If you can help me with transportation, please DM or, send me a message on Signal:

“The driver reported me as having a pet and said he had the right to deny pets. I explained numerous times it was a service animal and he was breaking the law. He asked me to close his door and drove off.” – Guide Dog User from Colorado, October 2024

This is one of many rideshare denials. End the discrimination. Respect our guide dogs and white canes. It’s our #RightToRide.

During the 2023 National Convention, President Riccobono shared a time when he and two of his colleagues were denied a ride from an Uber driver. End discrimination. Respect our guide dogs and white canes. It’s our #RightToRide.

A recent study shows gig workers at rideshare companies are making less than minimum wage in the US; to stop it, we need to fight capitalism in the streets.

Nina-Bytes: Exploitation as a Business Model

"So how do rideshare and other gig economy companies get away with this? Mostly by selectively cooking the data to make it appear as if rideshare drivers and other gig workers are making more than they actually are, classifying gig labor as independent contractors to skirt existing labor regulations, and spending fuck tons of money lobbying governments at all levels to exempt their workers from the types of labor laws that say you’re not allowed to pay workers less than half the minimum wage in your region. Why do politicians and governments agree to this exploitative bullshit? Mostly because they’re absolutely on the take, don’t give a damn about the labor class whatsoever, and are ideologically aligned with a capitalist order that demands maximum profits and endless growth regardless of how many people that hurts."
