I'm an employee, I pretty much decide my own hours. Sometimes it's 20 hours per week, sometimes it's 60, most of the time it's around 40. I can work Saturday and not Monday, I can work 4-10's and take Friday off, etc.

Uber and Lyft employees are paid on commission. Uber and Lyft don't call it commission, but that's exactly what it is. You get X% of your sales, with bonuses, etc.

For me, price was never the primary motivator of using Uber or Lyft. It's the convenience and having a well known brand that will more likely than not actually come pick me up.
