These days I believe that fractional investing is more common, so firms such as Betterment will allow an investor to purchase half a share and sorts.

This doesn't take away from your comment completely though, most Lyft drivers wouldn't have the spare income to invest into the company, it's just not because the share is $72 that they can't invest.

But it's because they've pushed so much into this share price, that surely they could've put more money into drivers pay, instead of lining their corporate overlords pockets.




Absolutely.

If you consider a $40 ride will only yield about $25 for the driver, there is a lot of room to give more to drivers.

Sad to see this sort of cash grab by the current Lyft shareholders.


are you kidding?

Lyft is loosing 1B/year

there is no "free money" to give out to anyone, engineers, drivers, marketers. its a tight market.
