My new favorite NYC life hack: take Ubers for ~50% of the price It’s called Empower I took a car from Manhattan to Newark during peak time. It cost $61 (usually >$120) What’s the catch? I looked into it: Drivers pay a monthly subscription fee to be listed on the app. In return empower takes no cut (vs 30% from Uber) Drives set their own prices So legally they are not a ride share biz but a marketplace Founder is a lawyer who interned at the White House. He figured this out! P.s. this is NOT a paid promo. Just had a great experience that is all.
