Uber, Lyft to pay Mass. drivers $32 minimum wage during rides under $175 million settlement
Most of the settlement money will become restitution payments to current and former drivers, Campbell's office said. The companies also agreed to provide drivers at least $32.50 per hour for the time they spend traveling to pick up passengers and transporting them to their destination.

They certainly charge enough to pay these people that much, I can't find any concrete numbers but it seems like the consensus is that the ride share company takes between 25% and 75% of the ride profit. What a racket
A girl I dated a few years ago basically went from gainfully employed to poverty without changing any of her behaviors thanks to Lyft just continuously sucking ass and reneging on every perk and pay structure. I have no idea what she's doing now but I doubt it's driving. I hope she's getting a fat settlement check.
