I need opinions

Hey so im the leader, vocalist and guitarist for my band and need some opinions on some band troubles. My bassist wants to sing a song and his voice is alright but my concern lies on whether or not its stepping on toes especially considering certain aspects with the bassist. He doesn't really contribute much other than playing the bass in the band. We have to pick him up and drop him off any time we go anywhere because he doesn't have a car and doesn't want to learn how to drive as well as doesn't help pay for anything like helping gas or merch because he doesn't have a job. He still takes a portion of the gig money and the rest goes toward funding the band. I feel like it's becoming a bit of a hassle to work with but im not sure if its just my ego being out of whack or not.

Edit: Thanks everybody for helping me out with this! I wanted an outside perspective before bringing anything up with the rest of the guys so I could have a fair unbiased conclusion and decision. He'll be singing the song and ill have a separate conversation about the other concerns one on one with him
