$5.9M in revenue over 162294 trips works out to about $36/trip. Average of 444 trips/day.

$5.2M in driver wages over $60k/driver/year (conservatively, $30/hour * 8 hours/day * 250 work days/year) works out to about 86 drivers; less if they pay each driver more or each driver works longer hours; more if drivers aren't full time. Each driver gets, like, 5 fares a day. (I would also believe $120k/driver/year and 10 fares a day.)

Prescheduled rides seems like a nice niche; better than sitting around in a TNC lot for hours waiting for an airport fare. Would be curious to see how and if they get to the max 2.5x return for the WeFunder though.



Lyft driver typically takes 7-10 rides a day.
