I started driving a cab in the '60s and have over 50 years experience in the business on and off. In those days the rate per mile in Manhattan was 75 cents per mile, but the fleet furnished the car and paid for gas. With Uber, 50 years later, I got paid 76 cents per mile and I pay all expenses on the car including gas, tax, insurance, plus any tickets or accidents. Working for Uber was one of the most humiliating experiences of my life. Ever work for the public? Some people expect you to be a slave. One lady asked me to wait for her while she did her shopping at the supermarket. I politely explained that I'm only getting paid $6 dollars per hour for waiting time and declined. She gave me One Star and I was eventually fired for a low rating. Uber doesn't fire you: they just prevent you from getting into your app and you can't even complain to anybody. To them it's like you never existed. It's as easy as stepping on a cockroach, completely devoid of any human feeling or empathy. You're working for a computer, not human beings. Now in my 70s can remember Jimmy Hoffa on TV. What ever happened to the American labor movement? Over eighty years of struggle down the drain - all so Uber can exploit desperate workers.
I agree because this business all about us drivers. Our cars, our maintenance, our gas, our time, our safety. It's just an app. But I am thankful for them as they are helping our family financially.
I agree. They take 20% now but just think about how many Ubers are out there right now across the country. Even if they took 5% and gave us 95% they would still be billionaires in no time.
I thought it was slick talking about these negative Uber stories while totally ignoring the fact that if Cab companies weren't such shit there wouldn't have been a need for Uber in the first place. lol
+Lawren Downing when ur uber driver gets into an accidents which causes you to go to the hospital. Uber aint gonna be responsible for ur ass and pay for it, u gonna have to pay urself.
Yeah, I was in Argentina and I needed a ride from the Retiro Bus station in Buenos Aires to Ezeiza airport, and the fuckin' cabbies were on strike. That shit was crazy!
There was an explosion of Uber drivers in Manila because of incentives given to them if they reach a daily quota. It was so profitable that people would buy cars on low down payment and hire drivers with 60/40 profit sharing after Uber took their cut. When Uber stopped the incentives because they had enough drivers, lots of people sunk into debt trying to pay for a car they couldn't pay for anymore with what they made from Uber.
@@senju31 in my country Uber isn't so good. Uber drivers make small amount of money. So they drive slow and try to scam riders because how little they earn. Also if you complain as a Driver they don't put much attention as a Rider who complains about something.

This video should be called 10 LIES about Uber. It is a royal RIP OFF of drivers both their own and traditional taxis. In MIAMI you can get a taxi by calling a driver directly.
I think I smell some paid for content... If so it's not necessarily a bad thing, but wish that things like this stated that they have been paid for. Also UBER screws people with costing if there is a discrepancy in the cost or a excessively long route taken, as you cannot dispute the charges, it's just taken out your account.
I mean, overall it's pretty fucking good. Sounds like you had a bad experience :/ Also, Mojo's getting pretty desperate with the vids, but it may be payed
Had a Uber driver trying to screw me over Uber gave me my money back then the women called me saying she got banned from uber and how she can't get a job. not my fault. Then had another Uber driver try to rob me but once the police got involved Uber track down her down less then 12 hr and arrested her and her husband. This is why once u are a Uber driver on/off they can track u down no matter what. Had the Uber company explain this to me.
+Jonathan Barlow Pretty sure all "sponsored" content on YT must now be mentioned either in the video or its description and that doesn't seem to be the case here.
+Rins K There is no requirement to state if content is paid for. A lot of the time it's upfront in the form of a sponsorship, but sometimes they will pay for things such as positive review or positive exposure. Even if it was technically required to declare this form of content, it would literally be impossible to enforce on something like youtube.
How can a company that has zero expenses, except administrative costs, but that has worldwide revenues in the high billions, be losing money? Maybe the I.R.S. needs to take a look at those guys.
Well, one of the problems is that at some point they were offering to get new drivers separate vehicles meant specifically for Uber driving. They bought the car outright, then gave it to the driver. Well, as you can probably guess, this resulted in a lot of new drivers in a lot of areas, which meant each individual driver made less. Thus, they couldn't afford to make the payments on the car, so Uber lost money on that. On top of which, as soon as companies like Lyft started showing up Uber had to reduce the rates it was charging per fare even further, & since they only take 20 -> 30% of the fare in the first place that means they made even less money than they were making before. Then, you have the fact that they've apparently taken to the Wal-Mart model of operating a business - expand into every market that exists, whatever the cost. They've only been here in the Wilmington, NC, area since about mid-2015, & they are trying to get into as many markets as possible. There's also the fact that when they first started up, they were giving drivers their own smartphones that had been rigged to do data-only, solely for the purposes of using the Uber driver app. They don't do it anymore, but that wasn't cheap either. Then there's all the legal fees incurred from their continued fight to keep from being labeled a "for hire" or "taxi" company - which is what they actually are. If they get put under the same kinds of regulations that taxi companies have to deal with - which is what keeps a lot of the taxi companies honest - then they'll go bankrupt practically overnight & disappear - as they should.
I think it was a good thing that it was forbidden here in Germany. Basically providing taxi-services without abidding the tough law that is implemented for taxi-drivers to protect the customers is just something that does not work.
The drivers get paid next to nothing, and taxes aren't taken out. If they get in a wreck, they're screwed because they aren't commercially insured. I'm completely against Uber, because it's unfair to the drivers.
lmao fuck you I make between $900-$1000 every week you clown. I'm tired of seeing these crazy "uber pay sucks" statements everywhere. most people only drive a few hours a day a few days a week. when you loive in LA like I do, and put in FULL-TIME hours, then you get full time pay.
Don't drive Uber in Orlando. We have ENOUGH NEW DRIVERS. We have the LOWEST pay. Uber is a horrible company that deserves to go bankrupt for how they treat drivers.
@@senju31 Fuck off uber marketing asshole. Yes charge passenger more, pay drivers more and take less of a cut. When you lower the value of rides you lower the value of drivers time.
haha i saw this one meme where it had Ed from ed edd and eddy (hes the big green one) and ot says "Hi, im your Uber driver" and it had him with that cardboard door lol
Taxis and Uber drivers are against Uber. No Uber driver respects or likes the company and wants to see them fail. It's pretty sad, but when a company constantly spits on their workforce, you can't expect loyalty.
It's pretty much true. I had an Uber corporate employee as a rider while I was doing Lyft and he noticed I do Uber too, and when he realized I was happy doing my job he lit up and was talking about how all the Uber drivers he encounters hate their job and Uber. I didn't have the heart to tell him I enjoy the job because I don't drive Uber anymore.
Stupid Uber didn't put in a TIP section in their stupid app. So, when driver said, "all transactions are electronic" I thought ok, I'll tip him from the phone just like the way you can do on Lyft app. Nope. Turns out you can't tip from the Uber app at all. Thank you for making me look like a cheap bastard, Uber.
Mojo, im surprised you didnt mention the gun related issues they had. Such as the recent mass shooting a armed driver prevented, uber then banning guns from the drivers and passengers (completely unenforceable) and the recent mass shooting committed by a uber driver during the controversy point.
You forgot to mention a few other things: 1. Uber takes 46% of the fare on short trips from Veteran Drivers and 51% from New Drivers hired after September 2015. “Lyft” ONLY takes 20% Regardless of how LONG or SHORT the trip is.. 2. Uber charged riders a "Safe Rider Fee" and kept 100% of the Safe Rider Fee. 3. Uber Drivers complained to Uber about taking the "Safe Rider Fee" due to the Fact that Uber is NOT the one providing Safe Rides, the Drivers are. Drivers stated in their complaints that the "Safe Rider Fee" should go to the Drivers since Drivers are the ones providing the "Safe Rides". Uber then changed the name to a "Booking Fee" to Justify taking the "Safe Rider Fee". 4. Uber lowers the amount of Ride Requests for Drivers and ALSO takes away their ability to receive "Surge Requests" when a Driver complains about Uber. 5. Uber uses "Tech-Tortion" to Manipulate their Drivers to do as Uber wants. You either "AGREE" to Ubers Terms or you DON'T get to work. "Definition of: Tech-Tortion" - When Uber uses Technology to Extort Services from their Drivers. Exploitation: ex·ploi·ta·tion (ĕk′sploi-tā′shən) 1. The act of employing to the greatest possible advantage. 2. Utilization of another person or group for selfish purposes. 3. An advertising or publicity program. Well. Looks to me like Uber has the first 2 of those definitions covered. Uber is quick to get more drivers on the road to make Uber more money. However, the drivers are the ones held financially responsible for every aspect of the job. All Uber does is get the driver through whatever process necessary to get them on the road. The Uber Lease program is a perfect example of how little Uber cares. Brace yourself for this one. This is really quite HORRIBLE! “The Uber Lease Program” With the Uber lease program, a driver can lease a vehicle with no credit checks and pay a weekly fee. However, if the driver depends on Uber to support a family and lives paycheck to paycheck, there’s a problem. The driver can never get sick or go on family leave because Uber will continue to take the money out of the drivers bank account, whether rent is due or not. Uber doesn’t care if all you have in your bank account is the rent or mortgage. Uber is still going to take that lease payment. After all, Uber has complete access to the drivers bank accounts. There is no escape. ANYONE who uses Uber for Short Trips should be “ASHAMED” of themselves for ENABLING Uber to Exploit and Abuse their Drivers. That could be Your Son, Daughter, Mother, Father and Let’s Face It…. Your Grandparents out there STRUGGLING. Uber DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE against AGE.
Love Uber because I know people who live on the Southside of Chicago who before Uber, could not beg, borrow or steal a cab to pic them up.. I love Uber.
Consumers want what is best for them despite it supporting increased wealth concentration at the top end, disruption to small business, reduced tax obligations providing less social services to nations, further degrading working conditions and gradually over time, reducing jobs. Obviously some people know where it is going to end. Those who are game, keep asking your MP's until they eventually are forced to answer with more than a casual dismissal. Power in numbers. Best.
they are doing what is called uber delivery now in sf (uberx and delivery driver) so they are getting into that market and eats is part of the delivery
+theidiotfromla They forgot to mention the Uber RAPEST. There are good reasons they were kicked out of Spain and India. The hype has run it's course, and going to have to change.
I've had so many problems with uber I'm San Diego CA drivers don't speak English, can't follow basic directions, speed, and text on the phone while driving. Or try to extend the ride or you have to tell them to end the ride because they won't if you don't tell them once you arrive at your destination plus alot of cars are stinky
we as drivers DON'T make that much but UBER is making $$ We as drivers needs a pay raise. we can pick up someone. drive them and loose out on a set price.
I don't get how uber looses money when everything is provided by the driver like the vehicle, insurance, maintenance, licencing fees, taxes, petrol and other expenses that may occur
Hello everyone, this video is an informative guide for someone looking to know more about Uber. Feel free to use this list I have created for you: 0:28 What is Uber? 1:13 Who Created Uber? 2:07 How Much is Uber Worth? 3:05 Where is Uber Active? 3:51 How Does Uber Make Money? 5:15 What are the Benefits of Uber? 6:04 Who is Uber's Competition? 6:55 Who is Against Uber? 8:15 Has the Company Generated Controversy? 9:40 How will Uber Expand?
if uber puts taxis out of business The they'll basically become the taxi drivers with the same pay rates. kind of like what Redbox add Netflix did the Blockbuster.
the problem with Uber (and Grab, and other services) is that people who wouldn't normally buy cars would buy a new car (or a fleet of cars) just to sign up for these services -- increasing the traffic congestion instead of alleviating it. This is what's happening in Manila.
If an Uber driver gets a DUI, they go through the same kind of thing a regular driver would & will be back on the road driving Uber again the minute they're off restriction. A taxi driver getting caught in a DUI will get their hack permit revoked & not be able to drive a cab again. The only area where Uber drivers are worse off is that if they do get a DUI it'll be their own PERSONAL vehicle that gets impounded, rather than just having another driver come bring the cab back to the company.
I started driving a cab in the '60s and have over 50 years experience in the business on and off. In those days the rate per mile in Manhattan was 75 cents per mile, but the fleet furnished the car and paid for gas. With Uber, 50 years later, I got paid 76 cents per mile and I pay all expenses on the car including gas, tax, insurance, plus any tickets or accidents.

uber needs to take less of a commission and pay their drivers more
To do that they would have to charge more per trip/mile
Only that? They taking much more money than that..they are a fucking SCAM
you know how much commission they take by doing almost nothing
I agree because this business all about us drivers. Our cars, our maintenance, our gas, our time, our safety. It's just an app. But I am thankful for them as they are helping our family financially.
I agree. They take 20% now but just think about how many Ubers are out there right now across the country. Even if they took 5% and gave us 95% they would still be billionaires in no time.

How can a company that has zero expenses, except administrative costs, but that has worldwide revenues in the high billions, be losing money? Maybe the I.R.S. needs to take a look at those guys.

Consumers want what is best for them despite it supporting increased wealth concentration at the top end, disruption to small business, reduced tax obligations providing less social services to nations, further degrading working conditions and gradually over time, reducing jobs. Obviously some people know where it is going to end. Those who are game, keep asking your MP's until they eventually are forced to answer with more than a casual dismissal. Power in numbers. Best.

You were in surging area, sometimes cabs are cheaper, I take cabs when leaving concerts as it's a flat rate regardless

+theidiotfromla They forgot to mention the Uber RAPEST. There are good reasons they were kicked out of Spain and India. The hype has run it's course, and going to have to change.
I've had so many problems with uber I'm San Diego CA drivers don't speak English, can't follow basic directions, speed, and text on the phone while driving. Or try to extend the ride or you have to tell them to end the ride because they won't if you don't tell them once you arrive at your destination plus alot of cars are stinky

The Apocalypse is no doubt closing in by the nanosecond!!!!!!!!
the problem with Uber (and Grab, and other services) is that people who wouldn't normally buy cars would buy a new car (or a fleet of cars) just to sign up for these services -- increasing the traffic congestion instead of alleviating it.
This is what's happening in Manila.

The Sydney attack had nothing to do with uber
What about less expensive than taxis and more importantly less drunk driving...
If an Uber driver gets a DUI, they go through the same kind of thing a regular driver would & will be back on the road driving Uber again the minute they're off restriction. A taxi driver getting caught in a DUI will get their hack permit revoked & not be able to drive a cab again. The only area where Uber drivers are worse off is that if they do get a DUI it'll be their own PERSONAL vehicle that gets impounded, rather than just having another driver come bring the cab back to the company.
Can't Uber drivers work when they want to? I don't really think sick days should be a thing then.
