I would think so, no more running multiple apps as a driver if you're employed.

Because the pool of drivers for a particular company would be massively reduced as well, driver down-time between rides on their platform may be expected to significantly decrease, which was a major reason for running multiple apps in the first place. Basically the remaining drivers will essentially partition themselves into two pools, driving exclusively for either Uber or Lyft. I'm not saying anything about whether that's good or bad, but it seems a likely outcome.

Thanks for taking it a step further. I didn't think about that perspective but I could see it playing out that way.

If the only option is to be full time I imagine it must. You can't bee full time on both services.

Yes. While you can be employed by multiple companies, it's unlikely you'll have the flexibility to do so because they will implement shift schedules to maximize employee driving time and coverage.

Yes. You can’t be on the clock at two employers at the same time
