rideshare drivers
Gig economy motorists
Rideshare drivers are people who transport passengers using their personal vehicles through app-based platforms like Uber or Lyft.
Unlike traditional taxi drivers, they're typically classified as independent contractors rather than employees—a distinction with significant legal and economic implications.
