35 hrs is less than half of a class during a semester. The MSF can give you 10 hours of motorcycle training in a single weekend.
By comparison, to become a licensed barber (or electrician, etc) typically requires thousands of hours as an apprentice.
Hardly seems like a huge burden by comparison.
- moduspol 9y agoIt certainly isn't if you're planning to make it your career, but Uber markets driving for them as flexible and easy with little/no up-front costs. Clearly this would affect ride-sharing companies more than taxi companies, and it's likely no coincidence.
- s73ver_ 9y agoGiven that, right now, taxi companies do have to do this, and Uber doesn't, I would say no, this is going to affect Uber the same. As it should.
- moduspol 9y agoYep. And a policy that limited maximum driver hours to 20 per week would "apply equally to taxis and Uber," but would clearly hit taxis a lot harder than Uber. This is protectionism under the guise of "fairness." Nothing more.
- s73ver_ 9y agoI completely disagree. There is nothing unfair about this move. It affects both parties equally.
