How do they scale demand for peak times with a fixed workforce? It seems trivially easy for say Uber to start hubs if they wanted to and they have a huge existing base.

But it comes down to execution and it will be interesting to see the space in another 5 years.

They own the hubs but the drivers are technically contractors like all the others.
