#GigEconomy#RideHailing: "Whether they’re ferrying passengers or delivering food orders, gig workers often work 10 to 12 hours a day to make ends meet. As they traverse their cities, these workers scramble to find facilities to meet their basic needs — restrooms, clean places to eat meals, and safe spots to rest. Through trial and error, many gig workers have crafted their own invisible city maps, identifying places where they can stop for a breather.
Rest of World spoke to 104 ride-hailing drivers, delivery workers, and cleaners who find gigs via apps across 10 cities — Dhaka, Hanoi, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Johannesburg, Karachi, Lagos, Mexico City, Nairobi, and São Paulo — to better understand how often they take breaks, and where they go to use the bathroom and eat meals." https://restofworld.org/2024/gig-worker-rest-breaks/?mc_cid=abefe81351
