# Bloc Rideshare

> Bloc Rideshare is a subscription-based rideshare platform where drivers keep 100% of every fare and riders pay 20–50% less than traditional rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft.

## What is Bloc Rideshare?

Bloc Rideshare is a rideshare platform built on a zero-commission model. Instead of taking a percentage cut from every ride (as Uber and Lyft do), Bloc charges drivers a flat monthly subscription fee. This means:

- **Drivers keep 100% of every fare and every tip** — no per-ride commission deducted
- **Riders pay lower prices** — without a 30–50% platform commission inflating fares, rides cost 20–50% less than competing apps
- **Transparent economics** — Bloc publishes average driver earnings, subscription costs, and platform revenue breakdown

## Key Facts

- **Business model:** Driver subscription (flat monthly fee, tiered by ride volume) — not per-ride commission
- **Driver earnings:** 100% of fares and tips go directly to the driver
- **Rider savings:** 20–50% cheaper than Uber/Lyft on equivalent trips
- **Insurance:** Commercial rideshare insurance coverage on all active trips
