@toronto.culture: DoorDash is rolling out temporary extra pay for couriers in Canada as gas prices spike, offering up to $36 more per week for drivers using their own vehicles. The bonus runs from March 23 to April 26 and is based on distance, with workers earning an extra $1.50 for every 50 kilometres driven. The company says the move is meant to offset rising fuel costs, which have surged due to ongoing conflict in the Middle East disrupting global supply. The added pay works out to about 36 cents per litre in savings based on average fuel efficiency. DoorDash says it will fully fund the program without adding fees for customers or restaurants. The short-term boost highlights growing pressure on gig workers, especially in cities like Toronto where delivery demand — and driving costs — remain high. #TorontoNews #GigEconomy #DoorDash #GasPrices #TorontoCulture
