Thanks to those dumb drivers this job is over 😡
This was never supposed to be a job. This was supposed to be a side gig in addition to a job for extra money. Or something to do in between jobs.
Don't accept a ride that pays less than $10:00
I accept 88% of my rides and have the numbers to prove it and I take $3-4 rides guess what my avg per ride is at the end of every week? $11.44 so while your sitting there an extra 20+ hours a week I’m making more than 2k week…. Keep not taking the low ones easy money for me.
I don't take jobs for less than at a m8nimum, $11. It will also depend on how far I need to travel for pickup and the total trip. Can't imagine, with the exorbitant cost of gas why anyone would take a $3 fare!
Yes thats right.
I am totally discouraged. Uber and Lyft are throwing crumbs at drivers. It’s such an insult.
They really are
Me too. It makes me sad.
Sergio, We drivers need to go on a massive strike.
66% strike
3 Groups
A group
B group
C group
Depending on day you only work when your letter is scheduled
Need all or a lot of drivers to buy in.
AB on Monday
AC on Tuesday
BC on Wednesday
AB on Thursday
ABC on Friday and Saturday
AC on Sunday
On strike for what ? Only Union people can strike. We are independent contractors.
Man let’s do it
Have these so called "strikes" ever worked? Have what the drivers receive on rides increased from the "strikes?" Has anything changed regarding us drivers? No. If you're not happy get an hourly wage job.
Totally agreed, but unfortunately those dumb drivers don't understand that 😡
Took a $26 for a total 30 mile trip for me to realize that the rider was charged $80
exaclty ; so that is causing many drivers to make private arrangements with passengers and is harming honest drivers by soaking up that business.
If less $1 a mile on long trip like that I won’t take it. What I hate about Uber isn’t knowing where I’m picking up or going. You got strive hit certain level every 3 months. I’m thinking of no longer driving for them.
Long distance don’t worth anymore
Yeap sadly everyone is losing money that ride need to be at least 2usd a mile if is a long ride
Any long trip decline.
Long trip must compensate us for returning empty as most go to the boondocks.
At some point, there WILL be a massive lawsuit against these gig companies. IF we are truly independent contractors, we should at least have say in basic rates and acceptance of rides/orders without having our status effected (DD).
Not worth turning on the car for $3 rides, taking a bus here is a $1.50, those riders might as well ride a bus or walk that. Uber/Lyft probably charging $6-9 for those short rides.
I don't even move my car for less of 8usd and still average
It really depends in my area a $3 ride is less then a 3 min trip or less then 1 mile. I take them all the time in my area.
@@SlayerDragonare you doing 8-10 of these every hour? And are the next pickups near the drops?
@@Allan_A I am near the pickups when i get them. But my market we get paid by the mile so that usually why it around the price. For uberx we get paid $.80 cents base fee and $.80 per mile
@@SlayerDragon thanks for the reply, that makes sense. I've always had travel distance between so I won't do under $1/mile overall.
I didn't renew my inspection, so I'm out of the uber/Lyft game for now. I'm in Minnesota FYI.
They want drivers to cater to riders that really should be taking the bus or simply walking or biking. When they started doing that a few years ago, the entire system went to crap.
They only did that due to the amount of drivers they can get.
Took a forty dollar trip from San Jose to SF.. rider paid $96.00!! Driving for Uber is unsustainable.
You should have make a cash run.
@romannaftali2127 it's against the rules if they will find out they could block your account
@@azizsharipov962 tired of giving my life hours away for free
I accidentally accepted a ride last night it was 25 miles and only got paid $15.31 for 33 min drive. I can't wait to get out of this GIG it's complete garbage and everyone including myself needs to get a real job that has benefits!!
Then go get a real job. Not that hard. Everyone was hiring after COVID but you decided driving is the best. It’s meant to be a part time job, not full time job
Uber's offers are good for retirees, people with very little monthly expenses, or supplemental income to a full-time job.
I'm looking and as soon as I find something I'm deleting this app and they can suck a big one.
3 dollar rides are like 15 minutes in total (pick up and drop off) those rides are probably shitty passengers anyway
Sounds like that's what you deserve
Here in Orange County minimum fare is $2.40 on Lyft and $2.73 on Uber.
I'm seeing it on Uber Eats as well. Earlier today saw a $2.93. Rates in general are lower in OC - I've heard of LA drivers who bypass this area because of it. They'll just deadhead out.
@@ShelterDogs Ubereats has a $2.00 minimum fare here in OC
Never seen it that low until today. I wish someone out there knew the answers to everything that is going on. Like a whistleblower that could reveal all.
Uber rides can now be found at dollar tree
@@BrotherK-ex2cogood, they should be competitive with the bus fares. Fares are too high and they need to be rolled back.
Same here in tampa, roughly $18 hr before expenses and definitely not even $1 a mile. Everything is trip radar
Tampa here as well. Once the Cubans came in and took over its been $85 a mile rides.
A rider told me last week Uber was charging her $105 for the ride, including the surge, I received $51
Biggest problem downtown Chicago during rush hrs is Uber CONSTANTLY underestimating trip times with horrible traffic! 12 min trips that pay $5 turn into 19 min trips + 5 min to get there + 3 min wait = 27 MINUTES FOR $5.90!!! ARE YOU F-ING KIDDING ME UBER?
Trip radar is rampant here in Atlanta. Absolutely out of control. I took an airport ride which paid 18$(lyft). Not a long ride, but rider told me he was paying 39$. Lyft and Uber are full of shit. They aren’t regulated in any way. Till that happens this is no good anymore. I’m glad there are so many channels calling out these evil companies but the truth is that they ignore us.
well, you guys forgot. years ago before upfront fares. yes i remember getting many 3$ short trips lol. so its been happening for years, maybe not in LA but in cincinnati i remember driving 10-15 mins for a 3 dollar short trip before upfront fares, it was annoying
Same! My lowest ever was $2.87 on an UberPool, the girl didn't want to walk in her heels (I related - when your walking around a lot, your feet start to hurt). All of the other Poolers were pissed because she was literally dropped off around the corner. So this isn't anything new, we just never saw it because Upront fares is relatively new. 8yrs doing Uber, so I completely remember the blind trips going anywhere.
No one gets in my car for anything less than five dollars. I won’t take the ride under $5.00.
I have the lowest fare. It was on a second delivery on their TRIP RADAR ! Which I never would have accepted. They BAIT AND SWITCHED me. The second trip was supposed to be $9.50. After I delivered the food, I saw that they only paid me .05 CENTS ! Can't beat that one !
Thank god I got a normal job again. I will never drive again, its the worst..
Can we unionize or come together as a collective to consistently stop taking rides less than $10? If every driver stops taking cheap trips, we will stop receiving them.
Had a trip come in for $5.21, declined. It came back five seconds later for $7.50... just pay us the money the first time!!
You have the option of finding an hourly wage job too. Reality is Uber and Lyft aren't going to change anything soon to benefit the drivers. We are contractors and they can pay us whatever they choose to pay us. Nothing we can do about it except leave to go get an hourly wage job(s).
@@jeannetteashlin1725 stop taking low paying rides.
Who's gonna start the teamsters union? You? Me? Lol
@@Megan_Sinner why not? A better system built for drivers.
@0_44_4 ok, let's do it
$3 rides were awesome when we had 70 ride quests for $400 - 600 and you needed to bang out a bunch of shorties on Sundays. Now they're utterly worthless and a total waste of time.
I’m glad you guys are noticing this and talking about it. I pretty much only do XL rides and have noticed that in some of these rides they are paying me or giving me XL offers with Uber X pay rates, especially with long rides. So, I do believe that these companies continue to lowering our pay even more as times goes by. It is almost like if their algorithm is saying “let’s us see how low these drivers are willing to go.” This is because so many drivers are using this platform of Uber and Lyft as cash flow.
I've seen rides in la as low as $2.75.
I had a $2.92 in Huntington Beach at 3:20 am
In Vegas they been shaving money to airport rides, if rider select wrong terminal they pay you less $2-3 the difference is about 100 yards if you go to different terminal! So they pay $0.56 cents per mile but if you drove 0.1-0.2 miles less few dollars less 😢customer service is useless as always 😡
Always drive a bit further then end the trip when that happens. Pax don't notice or care.
I speifically got an suv to do XL rides; I will do a comfort if its slow but it would have to be $15 surbe or better for me to do x.
3.01 I took in Chicago suburbs today. Went 1 mile for the pick and 1.4 mile for the trip. Then they wanted me to go 14 mins for a 10 min trip for 5.29. A joke
The fare is not going down. The driver share is what is going down.
Only $155 bonuses from Lyft last week I completed only part of the quest so made $55 bonus though driving late one night into early morning. I had to take a nap next day not worth $$. I took only 30 ride challenge Lyft $60 bonus bc I don’t see self doing average ten rides day hate challenge is from midnight to Friday 5 am bc I don’t want to do 3-4 am rides. I’m an hour away from my market and would have to stay at dads or in area sleep in my car to take $3 bonus hours. They should pay bonuses 7-8 am or 4-6 when driving them to and from work
They have tuned the algorithm here in Dallas Fort Worth to $20 per hour. It is readily apparent.
So far in Atlanta $ 3.75 is lowest I’ve seen
Worth to mention , the new agreement In GTA include fare for each city and the minimum is 3.8$CAD
Lyft guy here
Getting more requests that are farther than the actual ride
Ex: yesterday ride request 17 min away, drive req 3 min
Yea same on Uber 15 minute drive to the town/city over just for a 3 minute trip around the corner !
Maybe is close but there’s no sidewalks, that’s an issue in some parts of Houston
Very true!
7 minutes ride for $2.29 in Chicago lol never back on university area again express way rides is what works for me
Sergio , We had issue here in Ontario, CA. The proplem is that they don't show us the distance neither the amount of money I would get when I take the trip .
It becomes ridiculous with so " exclusive " term that I literally don't understand .
No money with each trip like they usually do with Uber food.
Exclusive means that your the first driver being offered the trip.
You know what people need to do ask customers how much they paid for the ride . I use to work doing Uber and one time I picked up a ride going to the airport from Venice beach neighborhood. When rider got in the car I over heard him tell his friend I can’t believe I paid $60 for this ride I couldn’t believe it I was only getting $23 I said excuse are you serious and told him it said $23 on my end I asked can I see your receipt for it and he was more then happy to show me even let me take a picture. Riders don’t want to over pay for the ride either . Ask your riders especially one’s going to the airport how much they paid don’t worry it’s not going to offend them I had so many riders willing to help because they saw what I was making for the ride as well all of them let me take pictures and I am not even playing about it no one wants to support a company taking more then half almost damn near 2/3 of the fair. The arrogance of the owner of Uber is ridiculous he thinks he can do what ever he want because we don’t monitor there app in America but they do in Europe they watch what Uber makes and what the driver makes .
3.37 here in Spokane, Washington.
some of those trips are traps... once you accept the customer changes the destination
I have seen it in Tucson $1.40 including $1 bonus zone
I've definitely gotten rides in LA in the $2 range.
If it's a hospital trip then they probably have a broken leg or ailment that prevents them from walking that distance. The minimum in my area for Uber is 4.17. Rider pays 7.50. I get anywhere from . 2 miles to .9 miles for 4.17 and can bank tons of money with the promotions and surges.
Most of the time it's bums from hospitals that they pay to have them brought somewhere
Can’t afford to not get paid enough and go on a strike … the cost of living is too high … we should all deny lost payout trips over and over on a given week to force higher payment … if drivers keep taking the low pay out they WILL keep paying the low payout ! I’ll leave someone in the rain knowing I’m one the only drivers on the road late night just because the trip is under $5 and over 10+ miles from pick to drop off ! I stop caring about my acceptance rate and more about taking trips that are worth it to me !
i just wanted to add to the comments on super short rides. I have had those where it's people grocery/walmart shopping that basically need your trunk space to carry groceries and stuff home. They have too much stuff to walk home even though it's not far. Older people going to and from medical appointments that are not far. Also college kids carrying luggage and stuff, taking short trips.
So my point is, sometimes a short trip doesn't always mean that people are just too lazy to walk
I did medical transport for awhile and their minimum for under 5 miles was 5.00. And that was 2 years ago. I heard it's higher now.
Agreed, that was my comment. Maybe the pax is having a medical condition or this one guy I picked up at a restaurant next to his apartment, $11 trip. Literally, 1min to drop off. He had hip replacement. I also dropped a guy off at the hosp who was literally shaking, he didn't know what was going on. So many more people over the years using Uber to and from the hosp due to high healthcare costs (ambulance, etc.)
@@HarringJess agreed
Still should be getting paid more for each trip. For hospital emergency should be getting paid 10.00 minimum.
As a driver, I look at the miles alone. The true overhead is in gas and vehicle costs. However, my passengers are fine to tell my their fares at times and I get 1/3rd more often than not. So 70/30 is a fat lie.
It’s honestly ridiculous at this point also I’m in the Las Vegas market and it’s just a joke at this point because I just did a trip that was around $17.09 and 13.97 miles and that’s including 30% extra and also a $2.75 bonus time wise it’s alright at 25 minutes but mile wise it’s not because per mile I’m spending around 3 to like 2 bucks while I’m only getting around a $1.22 and then not only to put in perspective the base of my ride was $11.03 divide that by 13 miles and I would’ve drove someone else.
There’s $2 trips near Sacramento, I seen them as I drive back home. You know. Someone has to take those :/
Look not defending the fair we get for sure but looking at it from a different perspective; the exclusive person could be a patient, could have limited mobility, could not know the area confidently to walk - there are a lot of other variables that are not told in the rate card and distance. Even the PAX rating can be obscured because we have a lot of drivers that have too high expectations of their PAX. I've accepted ratings lower than that and even got a decent conversation and a nice tip out of it.
$2.62 today May 5th. I took it only cause it had a $6 bonus and 😊a 30% turbo pay, McAllen, TX
It's not just minimum fares. Uberx paying 10 dollars to downtown Austin 7 miles. Charging customer 50 to 60 bucks. Charging customers only 70 dollars to go 90 miles to San Antonio and only offering us 40 bucks and then customers are like why aren't I getting a ride. But I think they are lowering the price on the city to city trips to prevent us from cash riding them.
Great insight. Pax are complaining about longer waits, too. I educate them about the lower fares and I share them my own story on how I've been doing Uber 8yrs and this is the first year that I hung up the towel doing Uber full time. I started a new job this past monday, training for 2months and then I'll be remote. I told them now I do 2 or 3 trips during the morning on the way to work and after work I do about 2 or 3 trips as well. I don't do Uber Eats during the morning, just pax, but after work I will do 1 delivery and two ppl. Then I head home around 7pm to wind down for the night. I'm only doing this until most of my debt is clear, then I will do Uber only on weekends.
You still do it part time so you’re showing that it’s worth it. If you don’t make money why do it at all and on weekends. The point is that it’s not affordable but yet you do it perfectly proving it is affordable.
I have noticed my recent cuts are getting into 34% of the customer charges. a month ago was at 46%.Drivers should be careful what they get as their shares. Your online time to income ratio will be way lower that you think. Its almost lower that state min. wage. "Its modern slavery".
Sergio, you got it good on that one. $3 rides in my area travel at least half a mile (minimum) and they'll pull me from up to seven miles away to do it. These rides are being supported by the government some how. Recently heard that some welfare program is available.
Also, the percentage is going down. Most have flipped from 60% for me to 40% or less for me. Not noticing it much because they're putting a lot of it on the customer.
OK SERGIO , I'M THE ONE THAT PUT THAT COMMENT ABOUT THE HEALTH INSURANCE, I DON'T HAVE MEDICAL OR MEDICADE OR MEDICARE , AND I DID READ THE SMALL PRINT, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR ARE SAYING, I DID ALL THOSE ACTIVE HOURS IN 3 MONTHS TO QUALIFY FOR HEALTH INSURANCE, I APPLIED THROUGH COVERED CALIFORNIA , I GOT KAISER THEY SEND ME THE PAPERWORK THEY EVEN SENT ME THE FIRST BILL , I SENT THE PAPERWORK TO UBER , THEY JUST KEEP PUTTING EXCUSES ABOUT SIMPLE THINGS LIKE THE LOGO IS NOT CLEAR OR LIKE , I DIDN'T APPLIED , THEY CHARGE THE PASSENGER IN EVERY RIDE
THEY CHARGE THE PASSENGER IN EVERY RIDE HERE IN CALIFORNIA SO DRIVER CAN HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE THEY SUPPOSED TO SEND ME $1,350 FOR 3 MONTHS OF COVERAGE THE KAISER BILL WAS $450 DOLLARS WITH THAT MONEY CAN COVER 3 MONTHS, I DON'T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE AT ALL SERGIO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU TRYING TO SAY,
Covered CA isint elegible since it’s a gov agency
Also, have only of trip 50cor 60c /mile while it was at least $1/mile last year. Also my rating is 4.96
Uber eat delivery in Toronto, lowest is $3 for half hour work, two pick up locations, two drop off locations. I think they travel back in time when gas is super cheap.
I see those ALL THE TIME in Chicago. Even $2 for 25 min deliveries. F-ing joke and designed for illegal migrants.
Low rides in Vegas is $4.15
I had a ride pop up for 2 .something could not believe 😅 skipped that bs
Same here in Detroit Michigan. But they add the Turbo pay to make you possibly accept it. I'm seriously thinking about stopping due to all the wear and tear, stinky ppl, bad road's, being uncomfortable at times it's almost not even worth it anymore. I don't work for peanuts sorry
Gryft Turbo is a joke unless it's 30 -40% + a minimum $2.50 surge. 30% Turbo is the same as Uber base fares in Chicago.
Went from $4.99 to $2.92. For waiting 7 minutes.
Lyft bonus rides aren’t really bonuses either I had a ride pop up that a ride was $12.06 I was in a $4 bonus area when I got the ride( I have the ss to prove it). The ride was really $8 they had already factored in the $4. When I checked to see how much the passenger paid they paid $37 while lyft had only given me $12.06. I was pissed granted this isn’t the first crazy ride I’ve ever had. I have plenty of ss of bogus rides. Mind you the ride was only a 15min ride. We don’t get major Bonuses in Chicago I’ve never seen anything more then $10 but of course you have to be in that area to even get it. Let alone their bonus hrs only last an hour which means you may get one or two rides from that area 3 if your super lucky
Had a trip about a month ago where I was paid 17 dollars-the passenger said, “holy shit, why is it so expensive tonight?” I asked them what they paid… they told me 51 dollars. LOL
Had another this weekend. Made 47, asked what they paid. They told me 95.
Lyft, Uber…I understand that you’ve gotta pay for the Uber/lyft support and the employees to work out the bugs in the app…but there’s gotta be a better way, man.
Same - during a snow storm dropped off a guy who was being charged $47 to go 6mins up the street, I was paid $26. This wasn't like this back in the day.
3 weeks ago I started new regular full time job. I don't make a lot but solid and that huge relief. The only reason I'm saying that is because I know very well how difficult was to make that decision. I been hoping last 12 months for change but everyday Uber get worse. Good luck people .
Chris (guy from Buffalo) asked Sergio (guy from LA) if he'd seen gas prices in CA.
Please do better.
I’m from Chicago and I’ve been driving for Lyft for 4 months as of tomorrow and I can’t tell you how pissed I’ve been driving. I’ve never driven for lyft but from feedback from other driver they say Uber isn’t any better.
Gryft is beyond awful in Chicago and it rarely surges, and Uber's rates are getting almost as low.
We all need to strike as drivers we are the ones doing all the work
This industry will implode soon. Drivers are not taking this shit and they are private driving Uber customers.
$2 in Broward County, Florida 🎉❤
I will pay $3 anytime if I can get a Tesla ride instead of walking 🚶
I mean why wouldn't you because you aren't exploiting drivers Uber and Lyft is
ignore all fares under $10
dont let them waste your time
I had gotten a $2.75 trip in Palm Springs like a wk ago. Wish I would’ve screenshot it for ya. Smdh 😢
Uber and Lyft made us all volunteers, they forgot to send the office memo. Driving for gas money.
Also they have 2 dollars too picking up food
the reason it gets snapped up on trip radar because some drivers get quests and they're trying to get short trips; also, the poor SOBs that rent from Hertz in their Tesla EVs are trying to finish the $200 promo for 240ish rides? Also, the guys who pay $600/week to rent from Hertz (fees,insurances,taxes...) or the guy who bought a new car thinking they'll pay it back with driving Uber *ouch! And finally, in CA, the tens of thousands of tech bros who got laid off and now need to do Uber 80hours/week to pay mortgage/insurances/creditcard/rents... you poor bastards. Add to the mix are the tens of thousands of migrants from the south who can now legally work/drive in CA with no background checks, and no English, the poor riders who will face Jose who just learn driving in the US a month ago that can't understand their concerns, no less dangerous than taxi, but then again cab drivers get pay more so they have more to lose. No hates, respect to all of us hard working drivers. These $3 rides are an insult (it's actually lowers in other parts of CA, $2.50ish in OC for example). I'm getting revenge on all the politicians in November, will vote against all incumbents that doesn't raised awareness or fight for gig workers.
Yup, this makes sense! But also sometimes when the trip goes into radar after refusal, it takes awhile to ping back at us. I've signed off and 15mins later the same trip. Many local drivers are smart, we no longer do long trips. So the pax has to figure out another alternative. They hop on Lyft sometimes, so just because you see the small trip not come back, it's because the pax cancelled or swapped to the other app. I've also seen pax request XShare, noticed that no one accepts them, then they do UberX, no one accepts them, then they do UberPriority. One morning on a snowy day, I accidentally accepted an XShare, then I cancelled. The pax put through the request as an UberX, the fare went up along with the surge, and I got her. Pax are smart to know that drivers won't accept lower fares, so they have to be smart themselves
Irresponsible during surging gas prices. Keep independent contractors but federally regulate the Pirates ☠️ running the driving platforms.
They’re above the law.
Love all your content guys, just wanted to add I understand the joke about “lets go for a little walk” because of it being such a short distance, but i feel like you guys are overlooking the facts that its a hospital pickup, chances are this is someone who is unable to walk that very far, might even be a wheelchair pickup. Still a red flag to snap up.
That was my same comment. Hosp pickup is more than likely someone who is unwell and can't walk. I'm getting over an illness and yesterday was the worse, my entire body was weak and I had to force myself to get a few items at the grocery store. The cart was my savior, it was holding me up lol!
Within the last 6 years i never seen 3 to 5 dollar rides this year i see it alot
I see 2.00 fares all the time!! It's disgusting! I'm not getting out of my car for 2.00
One time one guy call a ride and when I get there he was literally cross the street just to make his laugh I told him it so close I could off walk with you sir he laughed on joke until he got off
Everyone stop driving a month watch they will beg drivers to come back their stock will crash and Dara will pis his pants, if not sthu complaining.
Como conductor de Uber y Lyft hay momentos que me siento insultado y hasta humillado con las tarifas de hasta 2,40$ .. inaceptable , lo peor es que las dos compañías se quedan en muchas ocasiones con mas del 50% del pago total del pasajero .. 🤯
Y si estamos manejando aún es por que no tenemos una mejor opción en puerta. De tenerlo ya no continuaríamos muchos manejando para estas compañías que nos pasan por encima …
In Europe they monitor Uber and Lyft because they already figured out what these companies are doing if people prove to our state representatives just what this company is doing I’m sure there would be some form of monitoring taken they are not to be trusted it’s not an invasion of privacy especially when drivers are the ones responsible for the taxes but the driving company still charges customers for taxes that are none existent .
Driver need to stop taken lower rides
whos still taking rides of 3 usd ? or less... is insane
I reject 85,% today hopefully I don't get deactivated
Same here it's getting ridiculous
They will never deactivate you for low AR. They know they're just throwing shit at the wall to see how much sticks. I'm a 6 yr veteran and my AR always hovers around 5-12%.
When more rideshare companies come out, then Uber and Lyft will take less from the drivers to stay competitive and keep drivers driving for them. Like any business that's satuated, people will lower their profits to have steady business. That day will come soon. I heard 2 rideshare companies are about to come out in the U.S. which are Japa and Gopunchrides.
Start reporting them with the labor. Department their not paying for all online hours keep cutting wages they keep hiring more and more drivers.
BYD are not selling $5000 electric vehicles in Europe. BYD don’t differentiate between their hybrid cars and full EV’s so it’s not an exact apples to apples comparison. Their sales in Europe are very slow and the EU parliament are investigating the company due to the unfair subsidy percentages form the Chinese government. Read below the paragraph from BYD’s own Q1 report.
BYD reported a 42 per cent fall in its electric vehicle deliveries in the first three months of the year compared to the final quarter of 2023, allowing Tesla to reclaim the crown as the world’s largest seller of battery electric vehicles.
Why are we always complaining about these crimes? Let's try our best and kick out this fucking company
PROFIT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.
People mean absolutely NOTHING. The Earth has wolves and many many sheeple.
Dara is gonna make a $67M bonus this year with the stock price so high.
Uber has been under paying me on all my rides. But then 2 weeks later I get a back pay from them that is usually around 150-200$. To me that's still stealing. They are paying us under what we deserve and they hold the extra so they can collect interest or whatever they are doing. Why would a 5 mile ride make 5 $ but a 30 mile ride is for 18$? If you use their calculations that 18$ ride is really worth around 26$. They need to be called out for this.
We are all talking about the outrageous low $3 fare, so no one is noticing the sudden laughable misuse of Reservation trips, I felt Reserving trips was mostly done by Travelers who want to have cars when they want, and not take a risk of booking when they are ready, but strangely within the last 2 weeks, I have seen Reservation trips of $3, been booked 2, or 3 days in advance..., who in heavens name will Reserve a trip 3 days in advance for a 1 mile trip? And which driver will be dumb enough to accept a $3 Reservation trip?
in vegas last year when we all had the gas surcharge of 45 cents, the min fare dropped to $4.07. min fare was iirc like $4.55 before the surcharge. so we never actually got a gas incentive when you think of it.
after the surcharge, it stayed the same. then when they got rid of the EV incentive at $1 per every ride the fare went up to $4.15 as min fare.
i love those short rides on the strip, quantity in short time is great. but if you arent next to the pickup its a joke.
I also love short rides, too. I keep them at $7 to $10 at minimum, and agreed, if pickup isn't within 5mins and pax aren't toes to the curb, it's a joke. I text them to be ready outside before I get there, or I'm out
I think they're all just taking advantage of people and I think they should go out of business
Sergio im a strong Cherry Picker 🍒 I only accept the profitable jobs. My AR is low but the way I see it the lower the drivers AR the better the driver.
Hya man I'm not a driver, I just watch these to get a better understanding. But I'll be honest I don't understand much since you guys talk in sort of "codes" or terminology only familiar to drivers. It'd be really helpful and get your message(s) across to a larger audience if you keep it all dumbed down for everyone, including even kids and grandmas.
😅 That's $3.00 WITH EXPECTED TIP. !
Below 5....is x for me
