Should cities cap how much Uber and Lyft take from each fare?

Portland is considering a rule that would cap Uber/Lyft’s cut at 20% per trip. Supporters say drivers need more take-home pay. Uber says it could make Portland unworkable. If your city tried this, would it help drivers or just push prices and service the wrong way?

This one feels bigger than just one city. If a platform is taking too much from each fare, drivers feel it fast. Curious whether people think a cap would actually help, or if the companies would just find another way to make it back.
