I’ve never been a driver, but I’ve been a passenger many times in the past. To know that the cost to ride has continued to increase for me over the years, while finding out that the pay for drivers have gone down over the years is ridiculous. I’m done using these apps.
Thanks for the comment and driver support
I'm in San Francisco, which is oversaturated with drivers, and have been told by many passengers that it takes longer for Uber to match them with a driver and longer waits for drivers to arrive. Their greed, and lack of concern for the driver's and passenger's time, in order to find the cheapest driver is pitiful.
They absolutely do not give a crap about their customers, the drivers and the passengers. To me, it seems like they know their demise is imminent, so they are just grabbing every cent they can, before imploding.
Y-Ride does, sign up
New app?
Yup! Pax telling me the same thing, its taking longe to be matched to a driver, so I'm glad that my fellow drivers are cherry picking. Even during rush hour was matched to the same pax 3x.
We need to stop this? Arbitration agreement is null or void when 1 party is committing illegal 🚫 activities ... a fair minded judge should toss the Arbitration agreement out and make Uber pay 💲 damages
If you don’t like the way they do Business then leave.
Nobody says you have to work for them
@@bigjml if you don't like the way Americans stand up to greedy corporates and wants regulations then leave, nobody says you have to live here and put up with it.
They are going down. New Rideshare Companies (Wridz for instance) are coming along. In the meantimve, some of us may need to just STOP driving and take one, maybe two part time jobs.
thats a defeatist mentality. What about the other workers still there? Do you know when riders are overcharged and drivers underpaid thats a slow burn on ur local economy and community which leads to crime n poverty. @@bigjml
Biggest issue for me is EVERY SINGLE TRIP during rush hrs is time underestimated by 1/3 to double and I never get a penny more! How is working overtime for free legal? Please address this issue.
They already addressed it with Prop 22 in California. Other states already followed suit or are soon to follow. Unless drivers (and riders) wisen up and form local unions and/or do what New York did, i.e. stand for your rights and drive a fair deal.
If drivers are independent contractors, then why is uber/lyft paying commercial insurance? It should be optional for lyft/uber to pay.
uhh....that's not quite what's happening. The insurance companies provide Uber/Lyft with deeply discounted insurance rates, and then Uber/Lyft passes on the insurance costs plus their "fees for facilitating the insurance" (a component of their "external fees") onto the drivers. Basically, if drivers don't agree with the "external fees" from Uber/Lyft, you don't get to drive for them. Classic case of double dipping and coercion (?) Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I work as an independent contractor in my other job and have to pay for my own insurance. For uber/lyft to provide them and no option to purchase on your own should disqualify them from classifying workers as independent contractors.
The places I work for do not provide my insurance and do not force me to buy insurance through them.
@@elcoreano11 Exactly! I know some drivers who do get their own rideshare insurance upon the advice of lawyers, but it does not matter. Uber and Lyft will still require them to pay "external fees". I dunno, but to me that certainly looks like coercion.
It's actually illegal for TNC company to assess commercial insurance fees when you have given them your COI@@dangonzalez3505
Both Lyft and Uber charging the same when stealing from passengers and giving less to drivers
💯
I don’t understand you guys, always talk about the fare has to be around a minimum wage ($15 to $20 hour), we supposed to make minimum around $40 hour, we have a huge cost, and we have so many stupid driver’s doing for the minimum, where is the money
Illegal migrants have destroyed delivery and rideshare is next.
I agree. Do you what happen?. These pair of inept people DON'T KNOW what the hell they're saying. Honestly, they seem to be more like UBER AND LYFT WORKERS. I have never seen people so lost in this world in my life.
Sadly, informing the passengers won't really change their rideshare habits.
I'm in a resort area on the east coast and , while our driver pay is way better than this, Uber is scamming the shit out of all of us!
Exactly, I'm a Boston driver. I will never start talking to pax about increase in fares, etc. We can't change it, they can't change it. But if Chris and Sergio took this to the media, give it some attention.
I did a 7 miles uberx trip today (3 miles to pick up) for $9 in Long Beach, California. The lady told me Uber charged her $35 for the ride! say goodbye to tips at those rates.
I told her next time offer the driver $15 for the trip in cash, they'd gladly take it, no tip needed. She decided to take me up on the offer right away, completed the ride, changed direction back to another place 7 miles away for $10 cash. too bad she was already charged the $35 for the previous ride that Uber only paid $9 for the driver.
not only that, but i had a ride where i got paid 11 bucks, the ride said 15 min. it took 25, and i didnt get paid a cent more. i argued back and forth about it, and they wouldnt budge. then blocked me from disputing the fare on that ride. i sent you an email about it. im sure they charged the rider for it.
DARA needs to go, he needs to be buried in the middle of the desert.
they arent coughing up our earnings fairly at all. its become beyond blatant at this point. they are saying the quiet part out loud now and dont have any accountability.
Just copy and paste the same response, requesting to speak with a supervior in the payments dept. I did that until they paid me the missing $4 off of a surged UberEats delivery that was $30 but paid me $26. While I do screenshot everything, I was being lax that day. I'm no longer lax anymore lol!
When a rider canceled the ride after I accepted it, right away.
Oh well I thought.
Then that Scammer is Allowed through Uber phone system to make a call to me the driver he cancride with. Huh?
I was suspicious and answer saying only.
Who is it? What do you want?
He says This is Uber Support.
I said No you're no. I dont believe. Scammer.
He hung up.
I called the number and he simple timidly says Hello.
I say hey Scammer.
Hung up.
I ATTEMPTED to report this to Uber.
Got absolutely no where.
I cant tell them a name, or time or location. Because it doesn't show after the cancelation.
The Uber staff has been relentless in messaging and on email and app.
Give more information.
Harrassing me all evening.
AFTER I say leave me alone.
Again and Again.
Just prevent this dangerous account and driver access by Scam and abusive riders and or retaliation
9:33 - 9:51 : they didn't go public because they wanted to, it's solely because the private investors took away their funding
See how Uber shows riders trips in terms of minutes, not miles
Why? If the rider sees he's being charged $5-$10 per mile (maybe more - see trip shown on left) and then hear drivers having trouble getting $1 per mile- they now understands the driver struggle
Understanding doesn't change anything. Taking it to the media will
One thing lyft and uber need to do is charge for each additional passenger. Exa.ple, if 4 passenger get on a city transit bus each passenger has to pay their own fee to ride .why don't uber and lyft for the same?
Exactly because the more weight that’s in your car the more gas your car is gonna use. It’s totally unfair you end up paying for their trip and if they don’t give you a tip plus luggage in the trunk this is not fair at all.!!!!!
Bro this is the silliest idea I've ever seen. This would destroy demand. Can you imagine getting into a taxi where the meter ticked faster based on how heavy the passengers are? Just brazenly stupid.
Uh, @nikidevalle that is exactly how taxi’s work, they charge each additional passenger. Me personally i think it should be 2$ for one passenger and 3$ for every passenger afterwards. All that money. Should be mine as well.
Exactly!
@@Jesta41 Not any taxi I've ever been in, the idea is frankly absurd.
Dara is a Criminal ...
Lock him up 🔐
So is Risher
Here here 👍
It's getting ridiculous out here especially in Charleston SC I been doing this for over 3 years with over 15,000 pickups I'm working over 60 hrs a week for 1200 when I use to make that in 40 hrs on tops I worked 42 hrs this week made 662 subtract gas this week it's unreal I don't know how ubers getting away with this crap there are no more surges no more bonuses hardly and there charging passengers a killing and giving us the minimum you got my email sergio cause you emailed me back where I sent the screen shot of them paying us $12 and $15 dollar for a airport drop off but charging a $100 crazy!!!
That is about the same here in NOLA
Same in LA
Walk 7 miles in 45 minutes? C'mon man. "Typically, adults walk at a speed of 3 to 4 miles per hour, and therefore walk a mile in around 15 to 20 minutes."
I know this doesn't count for all of the cost for those examples but McCormick Place charges Uber and Lyft a fee for pick ups and drop offs much like airports.
And the rideshare company passes the cost off to the driver.
Guber/Gryft duopoly will destroy any new competitors with a temporary price war and higher pay. New players have no chance unless they're partially owned by a company like Amazon or Google. And remember, Guber/Gryft has hundreds of lobbyists and local politicians on the payroll.
Hmmmm 🤔
People, please don't forget to document your rides. Dashcams and screenshots are your friends.
Convert them to a private ride. Market yourself.
Whatever app comes up that competes with Uber and Lyft, they are gonna make it. I could tell more than 90% drivers from both apps hates them and are tired of their greed
Careful there Surge, block chain is a real big red flag when it comes to startups. Though block chain investment is at all time high currently, it's still a den of thieves!
Yeah, there is Revo (there out of Florida) and they are all about blockchain and even paying in crypto. I was like noooooooo i like my money green!
Class action lawsuits need to be paid out. We all are being screwed because of this.
I am probably going homeless next month. My Nissan Sentra 2020 with 197,000 miles finally stopped working. 5 years driving 30,000 rides between all apps, 20,000 of that on Uber. I still owe 9,847 on the car. Already replaced the transmission 4 times, and 4th one was paid by Nissan for having a faulty cvt. Renting just seems awful, and I think I am at the point where I rather learn how to panhandle. I have a few great friends where I might couch surf awhile till I get back up on my feet, but that will be the best way to get out of this system once and for all.
You couldd Roll the loan into another ride?
Lyft gets most of the money so the riders think that Lyft pays the drivers but it's not the case. the low pay upfront does not make sense. Most rides are underpaid, The bonus is a scam if the pay is too low, paying the driver $2.65 (too cheap) and a bonus, I called and asked them last week, what part of the 2.65 cents, I could keep?? Lol, I felt unappreciated! I decline several of those time-wasting lowball rides for 2 dollars, 3 dollars... you can't really make money! The drivers paying for EVERYTHING! The business can work if LYFT will play fair. Lyft drivers are small businesses, offering their resources and in business for profit, not for starvation or survival.
The days of 2K plus a week in Connecticut are long gone. 3-4 dollar trips galore, and no one has the extra to tip. Been driving Uber/Lyft for 4 years. Best of luck out there! Stay safe!
I am a single app driver (uber) for 2.5yrs. Back in ‘19 I signed up for lyft but didn’t complete the process. When, I signed up for Uber I tried to sign up w lyft again but was denied. I have tried numerous times since and still denied.
The problem is the desperate drivers will take anything and everything.. Keep declining ride after ride after ride.
Y'all need to tell these new rideshare companies to come to Cheyenne Wyoming. Frontier Days in the last week of July is so so busy, that we have drivers coming up from Colorado and Casper and other places. My husband and I drive for Uber/ Eats, Lyft, Doordash, and Grubhub. Please come here new companies. We desperately need some "fresh air/meat so to speak.😂
Lyft and Uber are the dominant ones here as I'm sure that is everywhere....for now😉 bring it on! Lets go!😁💜
just on driver cashout they'll make millions,what an absolute disgrace of a company,why 1.25?it was free to begin!
Just wait til payday 😂 broke ass pirate ☠️ 😂
Any driver who does it full-time will have A very miserable retirement. Not paying social security by you and the Employer, no unemployment INS, no 401K. no health INS. you will have no income in retirement if you get sick or injured now, one day in a hospital $30.000. . your life will be over.
It mostly geys stollen from gov anyway, ahahaha 😮
Lol. Medicaid...food stamps brah
You do realize you can open a retirement account yourself right?
@@nikidelvalle With what? If drivers were being paid today the way they were paid back around 2015, then funding that retirement account would be doable. In 2024, no effing way.
@@dangonzalez3505 Just because you're not making money doing this doesn't mean other people aren't.
Those trips are to McCormick Place and Chicago puts a hefty surcharge for rides to and from.
I got this convo when I'm on vacation, so memorable, nice to share....
Driver: Hello Mr/Mrs Pax, Is this trip for business? Company pay for you or is it from your own pocket? May I know how much does it cost you?....
Me answer: "It's for my personal, $$$"
Driver: (Whatever the price higher than 30 USD doable).... OMG so the company still ripping off the pax. This is not normal. If you want, ONLY if you want though, I can help you save your money...
Me answer: Oh really? How?
Driver: buy me pizza for 70-75% of that charges, I'll be your friends and drive you there. But if you cancel the ride, company will charge you 5$...
Me answer: Let's do it... I'll venmo you, you buy your own pizza because I need to go there, everybody is happy here. I paid Uber/Lyft 5$ cancellation is like paying them matching fees for Tinder.
Me thinking: Why don't Tinder make Tinder Ride? I'll make friends with all Tinder drivers, guaranteed background checked LOOOOOL
Cancellation fee is for the assholes who made us waste gas
Dara is a stereotypical person of his background !
driver pay has to be 40/hr no less this days!literally they have worse rates than 5-6 yrs ago and expect people to drive?Looks like lyft got my idea of trying to show hr rate,but that is a joke cause lyft can't give you another ride that you will possibly take.
Sergio this Bj I’m in Chicago too. I’m seeing the same thing you have to toggle that mat on and off to get that surge this map in Chicago is something else they are getting over
Uber has a grip on the minds of customers, as far as drivers pay , why Uber has flip driver's on an hourly measurement, while they are still using percentage as their measurement. This leach method of paying drivers, keep you on their apps 2x as long for the same or less money.
The drivers should come together so there's more resources to start faster and wider because the new co take too long and they start in larger places like LA Vegas etc and they don't seem large enough to actually make the dent we will be waiting for ever I can't even explain the ridiculousness of what they do and when you call you get dumb gaslighting responses and it's always on you or a system issue that randomly corrects itself and I've had more than a few cus share fares with me and I had to watch how i responded but it was mind blowing what they charged cus and the offer they gave me I even had one cus tell me that me and another car were the same distance to him and to his destination and he said their offer on a regular smaller car was 20. more than my comfort ride and asked me why I only was offered 4.46 he was only going 7 min away and I was already in his area so it was only about a 4-5 min drive to get to him but he said I chose yours because I'm only going 7 min away why would I pay 20 more and for a smaller vehicle of course when I called and asked about this I was given a stupid reasoning that the rider had already exposed and when I said that again they then started to say it's based on many factors and I said ok I'd like to hear how I can be considered in those factors to make more and the phone was silent because your lying their game play and cheatings is non stop it's so demeaning as soon as I can make the break im out Ive even been looking for a regular driving job because I need to make more and I need consistency I don't even make half of what I made in 2022 I have no motivation for it anymore and I use to love working for Uber but their practices are so bad it has become depressing to drive for them because your dealing with folks who just doesn't care and when accountability is brought to their door step they gaslight and lie and get worse it's sad
i have stopped going to airport in Boston knowing they take 50% or more.and show friken 20doll trip!sometime 10 11,no joke.
Thank you
Every dog has he’s day!
Unbelievably
That would be about a $10-15 cab ride?
HUM Rideshare I'm ❤'n
The bigger they rip off Arizona Uber and Lyft drivers, the easier it is for us to turn them into HUM riders! They are so happy to make sure drivers get 100% of the fare versus paying HUGE FEES just to link the rider up with a driver, while paying the drivers NOTHING.
7:53 - 8:05 : fireworks? really? I just don't see it
What you are demonstrating is capatilism ,,,
Yride is on board on sf bay area now guys sonce June 1
💯💯 they're going to announce the first town hall shortly
8:35 - 8:44 : they would be competitors
7:08 - 7:13 : let's see here...hmmm... who's ALREADY in position to disrupt and take market share?
Taxis 😁
Mark my words: The would be companies like the following aren't gonna reinvent anything:
Wridz
Yride
I'm only on 1 app because I got one phone
9:07 - 9:20 : who are the angel investors?
chris do you actually read econimic data... ya you don't
I like you guys a lot but walking 7 miles in 45 minutes? You might be slightly off there
Time to strike
What a scam
As an independent contractor, the company has the right to set any price they want .it does not matter how much they are charging the clientele. It is up to you drivers to take or decline it. If you do not like what you make .go find you a nine to five job. Uber and lyft are not gonna cry if you leave the platform. Quit wining.😂
Psychopaths do exist, ^proof.
💯
And citizens of the United States have the right to sue a corporation for unfair business practices. What this YT channel is doing is gathering up evidence, and I hope they succeed. I don't like paying $53.04 for a ride only to find that the driver got paid $13.76. That's nuts.
@@dangonzalez3505
You can always call a taxi cab .they pay their drivers well.
Independent contractor means take it or leave it.period. somone else will pick it up eventually regardless what uber or lyft charge. Drivers are not employees.
They get paid by the piece.means by each ride.
@@AC-or8qt My sister and her husband own a taxicab company. Cabbies are not paid wages, rather they have what's called a boundary. Anything after the boundary is theirs. Basically, it's more like a rental company. Obviously, you need to do a bit more research.
Automatic self driving cars are coming soon, so ALL you people can stop whining and complaining while you're in the food stamp and UBI line. Get a real job or learn a skill.
The customer isn't looking forward to a cheaper ride, the customers are looking forward to autonomous driving.
