Lyft driver here. I'm in Los Angeles, of all places, and I wasn't even getting $3 for a minimum fare, and that's why I stopped driving a few weeks ago. I cannot pay for gas and maintain my car with those kinds of payments. And people here 95% of the time do not tip. So I'm kind of done with this nonsense.
Good comment
It looks like they want you to quit. Since they have too many drivers they want you to quit. This is how they get rid of long-time/full-time drivers, and I'm ONE OF THEM TOO. I need to get out of this parasite industry...
@@dohandavid please do
Same here. It is not worth it. In fact there is no worth, only them taking advantage and waiting for the illegals to take up the slack.. It's a joke.
@@dohandavid They could care less if you quit and really why should they. There are probably 5000 future drivers walking across the southern border as I type this and they will be driving before you can take the stickers out of your window and throw them away! I am pretty sure they can teach birds how to do this job!
I’m about to hit 5 years with Lyft and I’m at my breaking point. Gas prices definitely play a huge part. But Lyft doesn’t care at all! Friday at Stagecoach I was flagged AGAIN for going off the passengers destination due to forced road closures, detours and traffic control officers ready and waiting to give drivers $1000 fines if we don’t follow the rules of the road during this huge music festival. So because I went off my route, Lyft froze my Express Pay for 48 hours and the next day they sent me an email accusing me of fraud and intentionally going off my routes. WHAT? This is unacceptable and debilitating and customer support does not care. They are useless. When it matters most, they treat drivers like we are nothing but a car. They’ve held my pay for three working days now knowing the gas prices are skyrocketing and expect me to continue to work until they finish a bogus review. Ridiculous! If they think I’m doing something wrong, why are they allowing me to continue to drive? They make drivers feel like criminals. They did this exact thing to me last year at Coachella, and this year at Stagecoach. They take advantage of their loyal drivers and force us to sleep in our cars if we cannot pay ourselves because of their broken algorithms that are designed to cause pain and suffering to hard working drivers. I’m so sick of it! I sent David Risher 4 emails, and nothing. I reached out to Lyft through X and again, they can’t help. This is why they are desperate to hire drivers. They can’t or refuse to treat their current drivers with dignity and respect. It’s mind blowing to me. How hard is it to treat people decently?
I only drive for Uber and I go off the route all the time. Lyft don't allow that?
@@UberDriverChat they have an algorithm that automatically triggers a hold on being able to get paid for a minimum of 48 hours if you go off your route. At this point its been almost 72 hours. I’m still unable to pay myself. Even after I explained over and over again that streets in a 6 mile radius were either closed, or had forced detours and police presence directing drivers to only go certain ways at different times all weekend. I’m glad you don’t have this experience with Uber. You’re lucky.
@@UberDriverChat That's a complete lie.....You guys are really stupid 🙄
Your comment is so laughable that I have to laugh.....Here it goes. 🤣🤣🤣
🤡🤡🤡
Imagine waiting 7 minutes for a $3 trip 😡🤬😡 and NO TIP ?
Yep
How about 2 dollars
Yup. It’s bullshit.
I feel ya. My daily grind bro!
Imagine getting robbed in a $3 trip 😂
I WILL NEVER do a $3.00 ride
Trust me there are people who does take it . I was a Passanger , this driver said he takes everything 🤦
This is OUT OF CONTROL
EVERY DRIVER NEEDS TO SEND A PRIORITY MAIL, CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION.
THAT IS THE ONLY WAY!!!
And zero media attention because no one seems to care. People are falling off a financial cliff!
It won't work. Almost every company has some type of gripe about being taken advantage of.
I start my new job this morning and I'm excited!!! I will continue to do lyft until may 14th until i get a couple of weeks pay and I'm done!! Not worth driving any and my poor car is overworked and banged up! It's definitely time for something new! I'm tired of not being able to go have fun like everyone else and enjoy life, instead of giving up my time and my car maintenance for ungrateful passengers!
Yep people ain't tipping as much.
@@Lyftflexslavethey don’t tip very often, my tip total was 30 last week 😂
Congratulations!!!!
if you don't mind me asking..what are you going to be doing, what type of pay are you going to be making, also anything other incentives besides more money such as health insurance, 401k, paid time off, etc....thanks
@UberDriverChat Got a job through a temp agency working at a college, painting dorms since college is over for now until September, pay is $17.50. It feels good to actually work and feel better about myself actually doing something other than sitting on my butt and driving people's and catering to them and never getting much appreciation from the passenger's. When you drive rideshare it starts to suck all your money in car repairs and insurance and sucks all your energy and life away. I will finish this month with rideshare but after that I am finished.
Lyft in Austin has offered me LESS than $3 trips. I remember seeing one for $2.75 and was baffled. Also airport trips under $10 is an insult. All airport trips should be offered at $10 minimum; I don’t care if it’s across the street
Same in Chicago. Gas is almost 4, trips can be 2,5$ 3,5$ 4$
Wow
I know, only take those rides over 10 dlls that takes you 20-30 min to complete them I notice that rides in south area pays a little more than downtown
@@greenalyd I take the same type of rides, they have to average $25 and hour on the shorter rides and over 45 min I need $35 an hour average
Dare not accept anything less then 5.00 because the algorithm will flood you with trash
I don't, what's 5 going to get you? You're driving a car
I live in NJ where we don't see anything! It's modern day SLAVERY...what this country was BUILT on....
More like 8-10 minimum. The only time I will take anything less than eight bucks is if I’m on a college campus and the ride is going from point to point on that college campus because those rides are super easy.
I only take $10 min and the ride still has to average $25 an hour so if the $10 ride is longer than say 25 min total to pick up and drop off I won't take it.
I only do $10 trips.
My market is showing a bunch of $5s and $10s. Comfort sucks, etc. and I get a bunch of those low fares. With no Bonuses/Challenges/Quests I can’t continue.
I am LITERALLY paying someone to pick them up while wasting my body and time And depreciating my vehicle.
Good comment
It is actually $2.82 in Los Angeles! $2.62 in Orange County. Ridiculous
Hello RSG,
Ive been driving for Uber & Lyft full time for the last 4 months…
Last night 2 passengers entered my car with masks 😷 (covid style) and hoodies. They then ask to change the location but say its further and if its ok. The obvious answer is NO from all drivers…
They the instruct you how to pull the pencil up on you driver app to manually change and claim their relative showed them how since he drives for Uber…
They give a confusing address that doesnt seem to work after multiple tries. This is in an attempt to have them give them your phone…
Here they can quickly transfer money or simply leave and steal your phone. Worse off… its opened.
This happened to me in Santa Ana, CA.
I would love to get on the show and give more details
Why didn't you just tell them to change the address on their phone? They ordered it on there phone. I would never hand over my phone to anyone .
Passengers do need to change locations at times and I always ask where the new destination is ... if I don't mind going there I don't care if its longer or shorter.
I don't understand why u started all your doing is making it harder for older drivers, if u started after 2018 you are the problem
$3 trip from the Walmart, pack a whole cart of groceries in the car ends up being a 30 minute trip
I pass up those U Haul trips. I'm only taking luggage on airport rides. Most riders don't tip after shopping, especially Walmart passengers
Don't accept Walmart pickups. Just don't. Unless you like working for sub-sub-minimum wage. You have to assume another 10-15 minutes (or more) for all the time someone is going to take loading & unloading all their crap, hope there's nothing funky that spills, and then the likelihood of a tip is a big fat zero. Don't pickup at Walmarts. Let some other driver waste his time & gas.
$3.70 Jersey outside NY.
WOW
Here in PA the minimum is $4.14 but when I joined 2 years ago it was $4.65, last year the smallest ride would cost a passanger $7.95, this year is $8.95 here they increase a dollar and lower our pay.
In nyc suburbs is $3.69 for minimal fair.
Only take rides that average out to $25 or more. Only take $10 min, which means for $10 the ride cant be more than 25 min total pick up and drop off time combinedc
I've seen Lyft offers for as low as $2.62 in Phoenix Arizona. Truly sinister!
I've seen lower than that on Uber here in SoCal
Sergio, I used to drive Los Angeles also, but a few times I did turn on the app when I was in San Bernardino county and even in Orange County. I was seeing $2.80 for rideshare with Uber there. Ridiculous! Asinine!
I haven't driven in about 3 months. I bought a new car. In my old car I drove around 200K miles doing rideshare gig work over the past 5 years. The price of fuel, maintenance and expense have risen. It's not worth it. The minimum trip needs to be $10.00 to start. In the Milwaukee market most of the rides are in the UFO'S neighborhoods. All problems.
Everywhere!
for $10 the ride cannot take longer than 24 min total time to pick up and drop off or it does not make sense.
Hi Sergio
I have started doing Uber here in Albany NY when I was on medical leave. For the first 3 months the lowest fare I have seen was $5.02, but this month I have started seeing anywhere from $4.77 to $4.33. I myself declined anything lower than $5.02. I can do that all day long because I have a full time job. I just feel bad for the guys that do this for a living. It doesn’t make economic sense to work for these blood-suckers
I truly think that they trying to create a shortage. Just hear me out… Just like the trucking industry, when there is a shortage of drivers. They were definitely push automation. What’s the best way to get rid of drivers and create a shortage $3 rides.
I don't know if they have a car ready for that, but it makes sense. I believe they want to increase unemployment to create pain so we will want their solution to the problem. A cashless society, and bank accounts that can be shut down at a stroke of a key.
Please everyone decline the low stuff
In the DC area, the minimum fare for both Lyft and Uber is $4 and $4.59 respectively. Been doing ride share since 2016 and the minimum fare for both when I first started was $3.75.
Here around Orlando Fl outskirts.... Minimum here used to be around 3.75 But now I noticed its been around 3.10 for the same trip with passengers I take on a usual basis and thses passengers have been paying more. But most of these minimum trips here are insane. Its like 2 or 3 miles to pickup and 4 or 5 miles to drop off. Distances have been getting further and rates been getting lower. A minimum trip here from ping to dropoff takes on average from 15 to 20 mins.
Ventura is $2...for a 10+ min trip. I have photos. And if you don't complete 5 of 10, you lose upfront fares
Yes you are right on losing the upfront fare info as I have taken a few rides north of LA and as soon as I hit Calabasas or north this happens.
I thought that stopped. The five out of ten. I would never accept a ride that doesn't show all of the info. I can't do mystery rides. Even when the five of ten was in effect for me if I didn't see the info I would call the rider to find out where they were going and then let them know if I was going to pick them up or not. Us drivers need to do the rides we want to do, not be forced to do rides we don't want. I hate being on a ride that I don't like. Nobody should have to go through that.
@andrewb3830 it certainly has not in some areas. Not only is Ventura county low paying and not worth it, forces you to take 20+minute trips for $2. I had one yesterday for $1.97 - declined.
This why I cherry picking and ignore the $3 trips. $2,300 in 61 trips
You are Uber Champ 🏆.
that's the way to do it!
What happens to us if our acceptance rate gets really low?
@@starburstthecat7625 every area is different… Where I drive out here in Southern California it doesn’t matter how low your acceptance rate gets… I’ve had it as low as 3% and as high as 60% and didn’t notice any difference… now in order to keep my diamond status I have to stay at 4% or lower cancellation rate and 4.85 or above driver rating at 1200 points or more.. in some areas in north Los Angeles county such as Calabasas and northern of that area and Ventura county you lose your upfront fair information if you don’t keep at least five out of 10 acceptance rides
First month huh !? They will get that $ back. Like a casino the house always wins.
I took my stickers off and quit driving until they can pay drivers a decent wage. I refuse to work for less than minimum wage... Garbage in garbage out.
All major cities across the US should not have a problem making $20 and hour AFTER fuel cost.
You don't even have to have stickers lmao
Lyft is paying 4.12 in Utah
Unfortunately, I dont accept rides that are under $12. Even though it takes me time to cherry picking , the whole day to make money, whereas before, it took a half a day.
In my area, they are offering challenges for $60 for 25 rides by Friday. I will guarantee that the same rides will be more time and more miles at less take rate.
For example, 1 hr 23 minutes 77 miles for $44 plus tolls does not equate to $32 an hour.
Uber and Lyft are operating the transportation services industry like they are selling products not services.
I’m here in Atlanta they paying 3.13 to 3.81 for 5 to 8 mile rides gas starts at 4 dollars here
What feels like a slap to me is getting a 3 dollar trip after midnight I only do airport rides after 10 pm. 3 dollars is unacceptable 3 at 3 am is sketchy and dangerous!!
$2.73 here in Orange County. It's been $2.73 for almost a year now
Dara needs to drive for Uber for one month and only live off his Uber income. I don't think he could survive. Better yet, he should do it in a rental!
I put the challenge out a month ago, no takers
@@sergioSMTMC1 I know. He's a coward.
Dara will never get $3 rides. Uber's Algorithm will NEVER GIVE HIM $3 RIDES
Dara needs to resign.
He needs to walk the talk
Vegas, lowest I've had recently is $4.15 for a 1-block ride that took 90 seconds. Everything else has been $4.50 minimum.
I work in Vegas and Henderson. My acceptance rate is getting way too low because of all the crappy rides
Minimum fare trips amout to 95% of my troublesome pax 😅
Here in Gainesville UF area, the minimum is 2.49,
In Orange County you will see minimum fares under $3
The bonuses are for new drivers because they already baited and switched you. They want you to leave now or work for pennies. There are too many people accepting penny rides. That's why they can do this. Capitalism and competition at work. The problem is, they do not know the quality of the driver and do not care. They will pay some random foreigner or criminal more to sign up and drive a few months. They will bait and switch him too. But maybe he will stay for less pay. They can lose your entitled arse.(What Uber thinks)
I repeatedly get good pay if I never accept anything. But they just won't give you enough rides. You have to work 3x longer to make the same pay at less cost as some one that takes everything. They want you to pick your poison. Loss of time or loss in cost to operate percentages.
Good comment
That's true, by the time you count the "time outs" you get for not accepting the crappy offers plus the time it takes to just wait for a good paying ride you end up sitting in the car for 30-45 min before getting anything ... mulitiply that 30-45 min times 10-15 rides.
Chicago is about 50 cents cheaper, and traffic is horrific. So imagine all the stop-n-go traffic driving burning so much fuel. I feel for everyone that isn't driving a hybrid or electric. I drive electric and only spend 15 a day recharging 200+miles
Lyft in Milwaukee $3.37.
Hello from Chicago! I only drive rideshare while going to a location and set destination. That’s the only time. Driving part-time or full time isn’t worth it.
According to Uber and Dara, drivers make $33 per hour and since 2020 they have paid drivers over 1 billion dollars in pay and benefits drivers keep signing up on average between 1500 and 2000 new drivers per day because everybody wants to drive for Uber
$3.00?? I’m seeing $2.40 in Orange County beach cities.
Slavery is the ownership of a person as property, especially in regards to their labour.[1] Slavery typically involves compulsory work, with the slave's location of work and residence dictated by the party that holds them in bondage. Enslavement is the placement of a person into slavery, and the person is called a slave or an enslaved person
TRY $4. TRIP IN OR OUT OF AN AIRPORT FACILITY!!!😢😢
Awful!
I can't even remember how much the lowest fare is (I'm in Pittsburgh, PA), because I rarely accept anything under $5! It's just not worth it.
UBER DID, however, offer me a $90 bonus to do 40 trips this weekend! Unfortunately, I had an emergency and couldn't do it, but that was the 1st one offered in months!
UBER also offered an earnings guarantee to me last week to complete by May 23rd. But, the last time I did one of those, I had made more than the guaranteed amount before doing the # of trips required! I realized it was just a trick to get me to do more trips...not really a good offer...
LYFT hasn't offered anything for a very long time!
It is a shame and a crime that vererans like us were making MORE money 7 YEARS AGO with LYFT & UBER than we do now in 2024! SMH
That's why you do those 3 dollar trips to take their money
If I had done the bonus this weekend, I may have taken a few low ones...but I usually don't accept them. The wear & tear on my SUV in pothole-filled Pittsburgh is just not worth it.
Today I got a 2.25 fare, really Uber, I am sure the customer is not paying 5.00! I reject all those cheap fares, but can't understand why others keep accepting them.
Here in Dallas, I got one yesterday for $3 and I declined it.
I didn’t even drive last week because the gas has taking all of the profits.
It looks like they want you to quit Sergio. Since they have too many drivers they want you to quit. This is how they get rid of long-time/full-time drivers, and I'm ONE OF THEM TOO. I need to get out of this parasite industry... Like your Power Hour channel, I'll be watching. Maybe you should show us in more detail how you make money STEP BY STEP so we can copy and learn.. some people learn by copying, you know...
Not until I burry them
If u started after 2018 you are the problem
In Miami it’s 2.62
The minimum in Boston is $4.85. Anything 9 minutes or less (period 2+3) it generally worth it as long as there isn't some other complicating factor
Less than $3 in Wichita, Kansas! I've had $2.50-ish trips from both companies, and we still don't have upfront earnings with Uber, so these trips are a nauseating surprise when you swipe to drop off. These companies have become so greedy, shady, and abusive that they need to be regulated nationwide.
I made 300 dollars last week after 50 hours ....after rental paid off and expenses.. I miss w2 jobs. Tired of trying to pay rent . Its pure hell.
In every major city you should be able to make $20 an hour or more AFTER fuel.
5 year driver. If I make less than $30/hr in a week I’m pissed as hell and will be at their throats! $20/hr. HELL NO!
20 hr. That's theory . I been sitting for a hour now rides
Thanks
$3 but I drive an EV so I get a little extra for every ride + surge + weekly bonuses + no gas and no maintenance. Charging is very cheap and I also charge at home. I only accept a ride if it averages out to at least $24/hr. I also do food delivery and usually make $30/hr doing that. Don't work for the apps, MAKE THE APPS WORK FOR YOU!
I don't think people can make $30 an hour consistently doing food delivery, maybe a couple good days here and there but not consistently...also if that is the case how long are you in the car cherry picking those rides. That counts as well.
Oh and I can tell you, that when you are in a surge area and you get nothing, is because Uber is looking for drivers miles from your area to give them the trips close to you, and they basically offer this passanger a closer driver for more money.
2 passengers already have confirm this to me, no ti mention that yesterday,.while had a trip I got a second trip the second one was like 4 dollars something, but after I finish I decided cancel the second one, and guess what the area was engolfed in red with $13 dollars of incentives, and was less than a mile away from me, and the trio they threw at me was in that area and included nothing.🤦
Sad thing for them as I quickly reach the $13 dollar area and got $17+ dollars for a 1.5 mile trip both ways.🤣🤣🤣
After that trip the AI started to throw me garbage, drive 5 miles to pick the passenger and 6 to deliver them to the destination for $6.🤣
At this point, it is obviously no longer a matter of incentives, bonuses, challenges, etc., but just paying drivers an economically rational, sustainable, and fair wage, considering all the investment and costs involved in doing this kind of gig, i.e., owning and operating an insured, safe vehicle, including gas, washes, maintenance, repairs depreciation, etc , a AAA membership, owning a decent smartphone with an unlimited data plan, transponder for fast-track lanes, and let's not forget about Uncle Sam and our state and federal tax obligations. If the work doesn't equate to the time and expense, then people will stop providing service. It is that simple.
2.32 in Houston
Wow, seriously?
@@sergioSMTMC1yes, Houston is the worst city to do Uber and Lyft
Minimum in Atlanta is $3.75 but most will hit at $3.82 when it's under $4.
I got as low as 2.62 in South Florida. Declined
Lowest Uber X fare I seen so far is $3.69 for Toms River New Jersey
I tried driving U&L for 6 months. Got tired of losing money and beating my car. Ill find a different side gig.
Last week in Austin, Texas I neglected to do a screenshot but for the first time ever I received a ride request under three dollars for approximately $2.75. I will make sure to screenshot the next time I get it.
Same here in Philly with Uber,I have several regular customers that I take from their home to the CVS and back home, maybe a mile and a half round trip and it was just under $6 previously, but on Saturday the same exact trip was $4, then it was happening on all my pickups, definitely lowar
In Wichita KS there are trips that play under $3, we have short ones that pay 2.85
What about if each driver buy at least 20 shares. I think it helps
I'm amazed how people survive on these gas prices. I'm barely surviving on ev. It all boils down. To sharing profits. And Lyft and uber ain't sharing.Lyft and Uber (well off people).Have no clue what's going on out there
$3.00 rides are exclusive!!
I guess so 😂
They exclusively want rid of sergio.
I've gotten plenty of these. All declined.
Sergio San Diego i get 3 dollar trips all time. I decline 95% my.rides. bring back the multiplier!!!
I hear you
Base fare should be about $7 for rides under 2 to 3 mile radius and about 10 mins.
But the only fair way to price rides should be miles and time. On the low end $1.20 to high end $1.50 a mile and 0.45--0.55 a min.
In my market I see $4.00 rides...which most drivers I know don't take. I do take a few that are just going around say a few blocks, or a certain radius or riders I've had before who I know are pleasant riders who usually add a tip to make up for the low fare.
I enjoy driving but the ride pricing has gotten very discouraging. Weekends used to be money makers but it's sad to see what weekends have become...low priced rides with no surges or decent incentives. I used to stay out longer Thursday to Sunday nights because of the fares, surges, quests etc but it is very difficult to do that these days with the low fares at night.
My minimun is 10 no less.
3.69 outside of Philly.
God bless you bro! Hopefully they start paying us more bc of you!
Thanks
Well one thing my short ones with the like 3 miles altogether we usually like $4.58 now they are $3 and something and plus I drive a Tesla so I should be getting an extra dollar so what in reality it's really $2 and something
They care about Volume & Opening the Border made Uber & Lyft Fat …. If U have a Mule w 4 wheels, you’re in with New Vehicle from Hertz n Lyft ….
It’s going worse n worse every day. !!!!
Screw that
$2.89 In Miami
Here in LA I received a lot of 2.85 requests. I decline all of them. I don't accept nothing less than 5 and minimum 1 dollar/mile.
Right .
I just went on my first run just now for the new week. I just took a 55 mile Uber xl that only paid 45.00, less then .90 mile when uber xl is supposed to pay 2.00 a mile. This is what happens when you jave no contract
Un boston is $4.75
Their are too many drivers on the platform taking all the request that comes in. Uber and lyft have them trained well
How can the Uber and Lyft CEOs pay fair and decent wages when they are enriching themselves with Multi-million dollar bonuses?
nextmonth uber and lyft going to ask you to paythem for rides. LOL gig work has gone down hill real fast. keep hoping someone will open a gig work that doesn't steal from workers. Greed is the worst. working a fast food looking more better these days:]
I have 2.28c rides in my market
I will never take a call less than four dollars because of the gas prices and the travel times these are ridiculous in Florida. We get calls for $3.25. It’s foolish to take them. I don’t take no less than four dollars. Uber got a raise those fares to at least 450 to 5 dollars
Same in Chicago. All base fare garbage trips outside 15 decent hrs per week total. Migrants and desperados will take ANYTHING because $15/hr after gas is still a fortune to them.
My minimum is $4. Reject all below that. 3, 4 or 5 per day. Luckily, most show up in queue so I can cancel them without penalty.
I don’t do rides under $6.66 ever. They charge riders a minimum of $10. At what point will they see they are losing volume because we’re not taking this shit anymore?
I try to stick with 6.50 and up. Learned my lesson
In tulsa, ok , Uber lowest ride is 3 dollars, and lift is 2 dollars. Gas is 3.21 a gallon. I refuse to take a trip because the customers do not tip, and i lose money on the trip.
3 dollars here in Illinois also I won’t do less the 5
I am unaware if Chicago has an official minimum.
But I saw a ride pop up last night for $2.50 and someone took it before I could screenshot it.
The service fees they are charging me on the Reserved airport trips I take every morning are outrageous, especially with the ridiculously inflated commercial insurance charges.
Since no government watchdog groups seem to have any interest in looking into this, I can only assume this is all part of UBER’s grand plan.
Take the losses until the taxi companies go out 4:48 4:48 business then cash in on both riders and drivers until the government is forced to take action, then shut it all down.
They are never going back to being unprofitable.
Las Vegas $4.75 at Costco. I went to Panda Express today, and I saw the start pay at $17 bucks. I'm like shit! that is looking way better than the crap I deal with Lyft mind games.
$2.40 ORANGE COUNTY
No way on Lyft?
It's aweful here in OC. I live in Irvine, and it's busy. Lots of pings, but I never take a single one. Not sure I've seen a $2.40, though. But today I did see the screen we used to get before upfront fares where you can't see any information. That was odd. For some reason, they are treating OC differently with the lower fares.
@@ShelterDogsI noticed this week it’s somehow worse
$2.40 is Lyft. Uber is $2.73. Orange County
I work Friday/Saturday nights and see a bazillion of those minimum rides. Whaler to Stag Bar. Sharky’s to Whaler. Country Club to Wild Goose. I ignore them all.
I don't do any trips under $5 unless there's a Ride Streak involved. and I don't do any Uber Eats unless they're over $10
I think they have some nerve posting anything less than that.
Minimum ride here is $3.62 to me. I'm a blue tier; I dont know where the ride is going and we don't have upfront pricing here, but they do have trip radar.
I got one of these for 4 bucks today!!! 4/28! It was a direct request instead of trip radar.
Yes they are lowering all the fares across the board here in Denver. 4,75 is the lowest I have seen here. But that trip might be 4 or 5 miles long. Maybe once is in a while if the fall right you might get 3 of those done in one hour. But that rarely happens with having to drive to the pick up point then complete the ride. 86 trips done this last week and I only made 903.00 before any expenses or taxes. I am going with the trading thing for sure. Blessings
$3.97 Western Massachusetts Springfield area. They are encouraging to increase acceptance rate. But, I don't want to go Connecticut State for a ride which is near from here. If I go down there, I will come alone without passenger, which makes pay double gas price. And the passengers in Springfield are drug addicts most of them, smoking weeds just before a ride. Alcoholics are not rare. They do not want to get seatbelt often, which makes me surprised. It is a laborous work for a driver to take care of all things.
Unlike a “business” with “employees” they can’t “fire” anyone….so they go low lower lower yet this will reduce excess workers. The adjustment really sucks if you drive but make sense for profits.
