By bypassing middlemen, drivers can optimize their earnings and provide cost-effective transportation solutions to passengers.

Working within a cooperative offers several advantages:

• 1. Collective Decision Making: Cooperatives operate on democratic principles, allowing members to have a say in the decision-making process. This ensures that the needs and interests of all members are taken into account.
• 2. Shared Resources and Costs: By pooling resources and sharing costs, members can access resources and services that may be otherwise unaffordable or unavailable to them individually. This can include shared equipment, facilities, and marketing efforts.
• 3. Mutual Support and Collaboration: Cooperatives foster a sense of community and mutual support among members. This can lead to collaboration, knowledge sharing, and networking opportunities that can benefit all members.
• 4. Economic Benefits: Members of cooperatives typically receive a share of the profits based on their contributions, rather than external investors or shareholders. This can result in more equitable distribution of wealth and greater financial stability for members.
• 5. Social and Environmental Impact: Cooperatives often prioritize social and environmental goals alongside economic objectives. This can lead to more sustainable business practices and positive contributions to the community and environment.
• Overall, working within a cooperative can provide a supportive and collaborative environment that empowers members to achieve their individual and collective goals.

The client must also complete any required actions in the app: payment, rating, or adding the driver to favorites, etc.
