There is an idea (valid or not) that one can cut down on police corruption if cops are allowed to make lots of overtime by doing easy light-duty assignments, like standing around every time a utility company needs to climb a light pole or dig a trench on public roads.
Maybe if Uber and Lyft paid their drivers better, then they wouldn’t resort to trying to rip off customers so much.
Of course greed is greed, so you’ll never completely get rid of cons like this, but at least normally honest people wont be tempted out of economic desperation.
