9. Drivers Strong Together: NYC Taxi Drivers (Many of Whom Are Asian) Build Their Own App!
06/14/21 • 55 min
A new ride-sharing app just dropped and we are HYPE. Co-op Ride is an app made for drivers and owned by drivers. Many of New York City's taxi drivers are Asian immigrants, so of course we had to talk about this. In this episode, we talk about the history of NYC taxi drivers, how Uber and Lyft disrupted them, and how the Drivers Cooperative is here to disrupt Uber and Lyft. If you love the episode, please leave us and your local rideshare driver a 5-starred review.

WHAT'S POLITICALLY ASIAN PODCAST?
Two Asians talking about politics and the Asian American community to get more Asians talking about politics! Join comedians Aaron Yin (he/him) and Gerrie Lim (they/them) for 45 minutes-ish each week as they discuss current topics and events related to Asian Americans through the lenses of history, class, and advocacy. Think John Oliver's show, but there's two of us, and we're Asian.
