Gig App "Surveillance Pricing"
Transparency Act (please give it read)
App Metrics and their little to NO value

Colorado SB24-075 (the Transportation Network Company Transparency Act) is a landmark gig worker law. It requires platforms like Uber and Lyft to be fully transparent with drivers and riders about pay, deactivations, and trip data.

Colorado House Bill 24-1129 mandates strict transparency and wage protections for app-based delivery drivers. Under the law, Delivery Network Companies (DNCs)—such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Instacart—are legally required to provide drivers with specific information before they accept a delivery task. Required Disclosures Before Accepting a Task Before a driver accepts any delivery job, the platform must clearly display:

Total Estimated Earnings: The actual or estimated amount the driver will earn, broken down to show the exact portion coming from tips or reimbursements.
Task Details: The number of transactions in the task.
Location Data: The exact addresses for both the pickup and drop-off points.

Additional Consumer and Driver Protections

60-Second Rule: Drivers must be given at least 60 seconds to review the task details and decide whether to accept the offer.
Tip Transparency: Platforms are required to pass 100% of the customer's tip to the driver. When prompting consumers to tip, the app must clearly disclose how much of their payment the driver actually receives.
Enforcement: The Colorado Division of Labor Standards and Statistics manages rule enforcement and can investigate or penalize platforms for violations
