48. What Philadelphia Riders Told Me About the Uber & Lyft Tax 🎙️

from ELECTRIC PETE

⚡ ELECTRIC PETE SPECIAL REPORT #1 ⚡What do Philadelphia riders really think about the proposed Uber and Lyft tax?As an Uber driver, I hear opinions every day from people sitting in my back seat. Rather than guessing what riders thought, I decided to ask them directly.Over the past several months, I collected survey responses from Philadelphia rideshare riders and asked their opinions about the proposed Uber and Lyft tax, affordability, transportation access, and whether their views changed if the revenue supported Philadelphia public schools.In this Special Report, I share:✅ Survey results from 38 Philadelphia riders✅ Rider opinions on the proposed rideshare tax✅ Concerns about affordability and transportation access✅ Views on public school funding✅ Real comments from real Philadelphia ridersSurvey Highlights:• 68% opposed the proposed rideshare tax• 18% supported the proposal• 13% were undecided• Riders expressed concerns about affordability, transportation access, accountability, and public education fundingThis episode is not about telling people what to think.It's about listening.One thing I've learned after thousands of rides is that every rider has a story—and sometimes those stories reveal how people really feel about issues affecting their city.⚡ Electric PeteReal People.
