My comment is about how Royal City Taxi, Yellow Cab Vancouver and Benways in Burlington work - I have never been an Uber driver or involved with the company and can't comment on how they manage drivers.

Also, you're saying my comment is out of date but this out of date system effectively solves the issue that just occurred with YandexTaxi - so maybe if you're working on a more up-to-date system you should borrow from the out of date tactics.
