To add to my thoughts above I've found this story of non-union jitney bus drivers in N.J. who get paid by the passenger. These drivers operate and at the same time are constantly on their cell phones to other drivers advising each other of potential passengers on their side of the route. They then, as they're talking on their cell phones cut off other drivers, race in the passing lanes, and cut back to pick up passengers all the while still holding and talking on their phones.
Some of what I write is in the following article and some from personal observation. What I didn't know was the method of compensation for these drivers. Can you believe the stupidity of paying by the passenger and not by the hour? This is what's happening with the decline of the unionized blue collar work force.
