    Last week I had a trip on Lyft where the driver showed me on the app that they were paying $34 and Lyft was paying me 13. I couldn't believe they were keeping that much of the trip charge. She was very generous with her tip so in the end I was paid well however it just doesn't make sense that I would get 38% of a trip. I think that part of why we get such a lower percentage is when Lyft gives us a trip bonus they are keeping a portion of each trip and then just paying you on the back end. You're not really getting a bonus you're just getting what you should have been paid up front.

    Very easy teacher they found the form to charge the maximum to the passenger with no surge for us and on that way they keep the all money calling now external fess and comercial insurance fees where is no control and they charge whatever they want on each trip because is the surge that we use to have but now is call it comercial insurance and external fees

    Drivers have to stand up and fight for their rights. We are in the 21st century do not let anyone treat you like garbage. Drivers have so many leverages in this game but they choose to be cowards . All Drivers just turn your apps off for 72hrs protest, uber and Lyft shares will fall badly and they will listen to your concerns.

    Yesterday was particular bad for riders in my area… One ride was $80… I explained: “$80? And a 14 mi ride? I’ll probably get $18.” She was horrified.

      Wow! That's when you say, "Are you kidding me? How about I just cancel the ride and you can pay me direct what you think the ride should be worth. We will probably be in agreement." See what the rider says! When riders wake up, drivers & riders are United for a better cause... OUR FREAKING ECONOMY!!

    I think these companies cap/throttle rides, that way they keep us making $18-20/hr. I noticed this after I did cherry picked the other day and got a great ride and rider. The trip was about 25 minutes long and gave me $11.40 for 7 miles. The rider was cool and we had a nice conversation, she tipped me $20 in the app, but after that ride I didn't get another ping in over an hour and half, yet I was in a busy area, even saw other drivers picking up riders even when I was the closest driver to the pax.

    I was online last week for 43.5 hrs .. 111 rides... made $1,072.44 or $24.65 hr.. or $9.66 per ride. To stay online for 43.5 hours it took 7 days, because here in Vegas, when you get a ride to the strip you turn your app off and drive another 20 minutes to get off the strip. $90 of that is tips or $22 hr.

    uber an lyft should have to offer a real job to people, providing their own car, insurance, an benifits. that would put an end to their service overnight. so the cost is on us until we rage an demand a standard transparent rate. time plus miles combined, both count. 1 dollar a minute an 1 dollar a mile. At least. the law should be theres a meter tallying time an distance. not the stupid time estimate that stays at 1 minute for 5 minutes.

    I'm an Uber Diamond driver, Uber Eats, connect express, package delivery, and shop n pay independent contractor in Los Angeles and agree with your channel. Help me understand where the restaurant stands in the Uber Eats equation? I get orders with paid receipts of $50, $100 type orders and the delivery is nothing. Restaurant seems to be winning in all of this, even when order not ready they get paid in full and higher menu prices for using delivery app

    When a rider gives an Uber driver tip for a certain ride (especially when thattip is very high like $10, $20, etc), Uber will gradually deduct this amount from your next couple of rides until it brings you to your pay rate. Your fare earning will gradually reduce until Uber makes sure that it recoup that tip from your rides. This is how Uber is dangerously using AI to exploit drivers.

    Unfortunately the recent policies have allowed business to do this. They get tax breaks for doing it as well. If they were not on the market, the billions would come to tge drivers. They are deep routed into lobbiest and with google. The FAA is in place for travel. They need to take over and create RSA with stringent rules to protect both riders and drivers.

    A lot of part-timers lost more money. I lost the extra 1 dollar for EV because I am not going to chase 200 rides in a month. We also lose the little quest money since I mostly work on weekends. They moved the quest deadline to Sunday 4am from Monday 4am. Is not even worth it. My grandson made more money delivering pizza at a pizza restaurant than I made working more hours and driving more miles
