Rideshare future + Twins home opener
| | Minneapolis rideshare drivers navigate future as Uber, Lyft exit approaches |
One of those drivers is Farhan Badel. His work helps him support his wife and three children, and has allowed him the freedom to be able to choose his hours to better juggle life and work. Now, emerging rideshare apps are exploring ways to step in while drivers prepare for the potential changes ahead.
An immigrant from Afghanistan, Murid Amini has a background in software development and corporate strategy. He has been working around the clock since early March developing a rideshare app called MOOV. The difference: Amini said drivers would earn a larger portion of the fare.
“My goal is to say, you can’t bully an entire metro area and risk people’s livelihoods and their ability to commute just because you have an app. And it’s not super difficult to build an app,” he said. | |

“It can be almost like suffocating,” said Cassidy Romaine, 35, “It’s like, now this human being is depending on you. That’s a lot of weight, and it can be heavy, and it can be hard and it can be lonely no matter who’s around, or what help you have.” | |
