The contract and insurance allow it I do know that.
The drivers often work together too, they will go to the airport right before a flight lands then kill their apps forcing surge pricing for example.
We have both in my area but believe it or not I see more Uber and Lyft drivers, at least their cars, when I get one of my Amazon orders delivered by the same day service. A car cruises by my porch and hardly slows down as someone gets out and runs to my front door. I hear they pay more than minimum wage as well.
