I'm not aware of anyone running Uber, DoorDash, etc. where that's true. They require some sort of transport which prices the poor out of being able to provide that service in the poorest area I know of where such services are popular (Brazil).

It's not unusual for poor people who don't own cars to rent (with a Uber driver discount). Otherwise, they work using bicycles in the case of Uber Eats and other food delivery services. Source: I live in Brazil.
