Uber
Uber runs an app platform that connects riders, eaters and shippers with independent drivers, couriers and carriers, keeping a fee on every ride, delivery and freight load.
Uber's service is delivered by earners it does not employ.
Drivers and couriers are independent providers, so the platform grows its trips without growing a fleet or a payroll to match.
