They’d just leave the city because it would become unprofitable.
It would need to be subsidized somehow if you want drivers to make a living wage while also implementing price controls and eliminating tipping. At that point, just have it be a city-owned public service.
Turns out that it costs a lot of money to transport people around for a living wage.
Who said anything about making it unprofitable? It would merely be less profitable, and they won’t leave over that. They can still make a huge amount of profit from volume.
This idea that we are at the mercy of private businesses and there’s nothing we can do to control them needs to die.

my point is that it wouldn’t. their profit rates are astronomical.
