THE PROBLEM

Ride-hailing economics are broken on both sides

Commission-heavy platforms squeeze drivers and pass the cost on to riders. DuoFare is built to fix both at once.

01

Drivers lose 20–55% of each fare

Seattle drivers we surveyed report losing 20–55% of each fare to commission, depending on time of day, traffic, and demand. That makes income hard to predict or plan around.

02

No transparency, no control

Opaque pricing algorithms and sudden deactivations, often with no human review.

03

Riders pay volatile, inflated fares

Surge pricing and high platform overhead get passed straight to the passenger.

HOW IT WORKS

Built for drivers and riders alike
