A single mom in Ohio moved from a shelter to an apartment after switching from Lyft and Uber driving to being a full-time bus driver

• Jayla, a single mom, switched from being an Uber and Lyft driver to a school bus driver for stability.
• Despite consistent hours, her earnings from gig driving dropped over two years, leading her to seek steadier employment.
• Jayla's new job as a bus driver enabled her to secure an apartment and enroll in college classes.

Jayla, 28, spent two years driving for Uber and Lyft and struggled to find stable housing and provide for herself and her son. But after switching jobs and becoming a bus driver in late 2023, she's now living in her own apartment.
