I would also need to be appropriately signed on with the pick-up organisation and assured of the necessary insurance cover.
Does that seem reasonable to you?

Here's an article from The Atlantic

What a ridiculous business model relying on teenagers using their own power sources and figuring out how to easily scam the parent company.
OK ... so I was right on the money.
Perhaps even slightly low.
"For performing this service, Bird pays Brandon, a contract worker, up to several hundred dollars a night. On one particularly successful night, Brandon brought home $600."
"The reward for capturing and charging these Birds can range from $5 to $20 depending on how difficult the Bird is to locate—and some can be really hard to find."
And the article goes on to explain how to get the $20 ... or more.
My $30/hour over, let's say, and 8 hour period is only $240. Next time TP asks this question, I'll double my estimate.
