Juno aims to fight against the mighty uber by being friendly to the drivers.The company has stated that it will take only 10 percent from drivers as compared to 20 percent on Uber. The company is currently taking in drivers who have a rating of higher than 4.7 in uber.
Drivers are also given share over a period of times based on the number of rides they take up.The company has stated that it will not be imposing surge pricing but give its drivers extra money during times of high demand.
Juno however has not stated anything about driver’s status, employees or contractors.This is a heated debate in Uber circle as the drivers are taken as contractors.The drivers went on a legal battle over Lyft and Uber to take them as drivers.Lyft has settled the case and Uber will go to trial after few months.
The timing seems to be favorable for Juno as the drivers are unhappy with the fare cuts from Uber.Uber and Lyft are also planning to move into automated car segment where the drivers’ future is in question mark.Though the technology will take quite some time to establish but drivers definitely feel threatened which is what juno is using.
