Re:Uber, Postmates Agree on $2.65B All-Stock Deal by bonestormii_ on Monday July 06, 2020 @06:51PM (#23753682)
Perhaps--I really know nothing about it.

However, if you allow yourself to simplify the problem, it seems there is really no physical difference from a food delivery and a ride. Pick up at one location, drop off at another--maybe with extra time required to get out of the car. In both cases, there is a limited allowable waiting threshold.

So if you can merge those work forces, you could attain higher utilization. The main problem I see though is that both sectors surge at roughly the same times, so it isn't quite as complimentary as you might initially hope.
