Trip to Newark airport NJ (19 miles) cost a rider $85. I got paid as an Uber X driver....$19.65. STOP THE STEAL !!!
I signed on in Portland OR 8 years ago, they took 20% & I got 80%. Now they demand drivers to accept their terms of service, or not be able to drive - yearly. They began with $1.75mi but now they say I have to drive $0.70/mi - but they won’t grandfather me in or let me negotiate (like a private contractor should be able to), I’m using my own car!
I made gross $100,000 last year (they report the entire fare as the drivers income): AFTER what they took I got $40,000 - but after expenses (gas, insurance, mechanic work) & deductions I got about $1,200 NET.
Uber/Lyft Says $33/hr But They Get $19 & the driver gets $14: (58%) 19/14 (42%)!
Lol wut? You're free to negotiate all you want, that doesn't mean they're obligated to entertain it. That goes for any contracting position, sweetheart.
What unskilled, uneducated people don't understand is that their basic manual labor holds little to no leverage. If you don't take the pay they offer, someone else will. You aren't a gem.
I have been driving rideshare for a few years now. Rideshare is the ONLY job I have ever had that the longer I do it the less I take home. Last year both Lyft and Uber forced on the drivers a thing called "upfront pricing" is it a secret way these companies calculate the pay the drivers will get from a trip. When we are support how they come to these numbers they only tell us that is takes into account 70 different points of info... I use to make on average a little over $10 a trip (including tips and bonuses) NOW is between $3 and $5 ... And the whole $33 an hour of "utilized" time is complete horse droppings. "Utilized" means having a person in the car ... not waiting for a ride or going to get the passenger... Rideshare has become a complete scam ...
Please list your previous job
@@UncleFjesterin what way is that relevant?
Obviously it's means more people are doing Uber which is diluting you're potential income. Not to mention your an independent contractor not an employee so Uber really doesn't owe you anything.
That is true it's like getting a job with no high school diploma,your not worth much at all😂
I would suggest maybe doing Amazon Flex if you already don’t AND you’ll get 100% tips from doing Amazon fresh.
It's not 33 an hour. Ridiculous.
Freemason's way of saying, kiss my buttocks
More like 10-11 after expenses
The gig companies even brag that these little disruptions have zero effect on their service.
Do you really want to work for these lowlifes?
$33 an hour 😭😭😭
I never see cab drivers striking. I wonder why?
I read somewhere that cabbies make more money than Rideshare drivers. And cab drivers can go to the City and demand an increase in fares.
These people need to stop whining about uber and lyft not paying them enough. It’s been the same complain of when I used to drive for them 7 years ago. If you drive for them You accept that you are a contractor and If you are not happy you can stop driving for them and get another job but a lot of these drivers won’t because they hate the idea of having a schedule and a boss. Another reason they complain is because a lot of them buy these expensive cars and expect ride share companies to compensate them for their poor money decisions. I did this work and instead of whining that these companies don’t pay I learned a new trade and changed career.
Well done
Great job! But that's be real, a lot of people who drive for Uber are highly unskilled, unmotivated, and not very intelligent.
Tavian is my ex and I can guarantee for a fact that he’s lying through his teeth. He makes 1500 a week still if he’s not lazy and gets up.
What you are saying is 1000% true for his part because he’s literally told me the exact thing you’re saying, he hates having a boss and this is his way to control his life.
$33 bucks 😂 we not talking about anomalies here …Uber tripping
Simple solution, don’t drive for these companies
Uber is lying 🤥 I cherry 🍒 pick rides and my average is below $25 hr !
The last Uber I took to TPA I offered to pay the driver in cash and we canceled the ride. Screw Uber. He got the whole payment.
Who cares they signed up for it why are they complaining? They shouldn’t be complaining now if I’m correct aren’t they the ones that helped Uber and Lyft bust unions yes they did the drivers, so what can we do about it nothing I AM A TAXI DRIVER that is correct. That is what I am. I’m a Southern California taxi driver that’s who I am. I work in the inland Empire about 30 miles east of downtown Las. I generally work at Ontario airport most of the time, but there are customers away from the airport also so this is what the airport did to us taxi drivers we used to sit on the inside curb. The airport moved us to the outside island curb, which is right across the street from where we used to pick up now we have to sit and watch the Uber drivers and Lyft drivers get most of the work and it goes on and on and on all day all day long like I said, can we do anything about it? No but I can still feel the way I feel, so the Uber drivers and the Lyft drivers they’re complaining what are they complaining about? Like I said they signed up for it and I want to say one thing to all you people that don’t know a lot the Uber drivers and the Lyft drivers they did not get hired all they did. Was they download the Uber app they download the Lyft app they send them their information and if they pass their background check they’re driving they’re making money. I don’t know how this goes on. They’re not regulated, but it goes on, so I sit here at the airport here’s another funny thing that you people will find amusing. Sometimes Uber drivers will cancel or the Lyft drivers will cancel. Then their customers will come over to the taxi amazing it and you know why they cancel because it’s a shitty ride and they’re not making any money. Pretty funny isn’t it so that’s it I’m done. !!!
Most important things in life are our HEALTH & our TIME. But scum of the earth companies: Uber, Door Dash, Lyft, Grub Hub, Roadie & etc don't give a damn about neither of those. It's high time the drivers fight for new 2024 France's rideshare rates here in the USA & for the world too. With a transparency bill so the passenger & driver understands where the money is going -- $1.70 per mile for the vehicle (or 1 Euro per Km) AND minimum $0.55 cents (Euros) PER MINUTE for driver's TIME/effort -- as what France passed should be the standard, what drivers should strive for.
Uber, Lyft talk about paying driver $30 per hour, but I receive $4.02 trips more often than not, hence average hourly pay is about less than $15 per hour, which is less than minimum wage. Furthermore, in Bay Area, California Lyft average trip prices I see is $4.02 & $5.29 where I decline straight away because it's not worth my time where it'll take 11 to 20 minutes on booked time, and no matter if I decline 100 of those garbage, Lyft keeps sending those garbage. Useless, thrash AI they have, definitely worst than Uber. Once I decline tons of those trash, the best Lyft send me is 9 miles $9 dollars about 20 to 26 minutes booked time trip, paying me a single dollar per mile rates only, as if Lyft is providing their company car for me to drive, with insurance, gas, maintenance fee & etc included... Unbelievable this scam company, they forget that they have to pay for my time separately & they have to pay for miles driven in my vehicle a another separate rate. So paying hourly rate wage for a driver unless the vehicle is a company car is IRRELEVANT.
As for Uber most trip prices I see is $5.89 & $6.02 Although the price is slightly higher, again, I decline those thrash trips because it's same logic as accepting a Lyft's garbage lowest trip.
$33 an hour average pay, total bullshit!
If it were 33 per hour we would all be happy
That ain't going to happen. Revenue wise is not feasible....Besides, there is talk that these companies want to offer a full fleet of autonomous vehicles in a few years.
@@hondaopportunity8107revenue wise it is feasible Dara the Exploiter is just paying to run an algorithm super computer. They are even going to fire their customer service reps for ai bots to pocket even more $$.
Lies they are robbing us 4500 5 star rides and I’m lucky to break $20 an hour. Uber lies
You lied too when you signed the contact saying you agree to their pay.
There stealing tips and pay is low I quit four months ago thieves!!!
Unfortunately, today's Philadelphia Strike showed that many unscrupulous, greedy deceivers work at Uber and Lyft. While some Uber and Lyft drivers left their homes and sacrificed their jobs on the holiday, others not only did not support the protest, they laughed as they left the parking lot to pick up riders. Thanks to them, corporations do not worry about the lack of drivers.
It's very sad, because I love Uber, but unfortunately it's getting more and more difficult to survive on that kind of income. Most likely, I will have to leave this job and look for something else if something doesn’t change, very sad.
They aren’t gunna change to accommodate you! It’s up to you! You do what’s best for you! Find another job
Why don't they just quit if it's so bad? Nobody is forcing them to drive for Uber/Lyft.
Because they know they're unemployable anywhere else. Even Burger King doesn't want them cleaning their toilets.
The problem is that this service isn't anything essential, ppl have and can live without this. The job market is hard, but this isn't a career.
Praise God for the strike because this is ridiculous. I’ve seen their pay it’s not much.
We are in an era where everyone should be paid $1000 per hour, working from home in your pajamas and have a 23 hour lunch break.
10000 per hour
$33 per utilized hour basically means you aren’t getting paid to wait for a ride or drive back to your original location. It’s kind of like being at work but your boss doesn’t pay you when there’s no customers.
You’re more than welcome to go get a job at a normal place that will pay you 8 hours for a work day. If you don’t like the structure of ride share, don’t do it
@@KMT15 Are you hiring? If so then please send a link to your application. If not then shut up!
@@JosephWilsonProductions I am 100%. What are your skillsets? I’m not about to post anything on youtube but if you happen to have experience and a skillset in my industry, we can talk.
In fact, of the 150 employees I have, about 75% make 6 figures. My top earner makes nearly $300k/ year.
All lies from Uber/Lyft
One-hour rides here in Dallas to go across town go for $18 to $22. So how does that equate to 30 bucks per utilized hour?
Thank you for mentioning that I thought I was the only one I feel that the pay just keeps dropping as they sit on their throne getting richer with the ceo of Uber
Why protest for 2 hours only? They call that a protest? If they really want to protest, all the drivers should go off the platform for one week. Uber and Lyft management teams are laughing at this. At the end Uber and Lyft win while the drivers really have not gained anything.
There was no protest. Drivers were available all day and prices were the norm
simple solution QUIT
Whats the difference between a min wage worker and a Uber driver? One gets health benefits, a tax refund, and a car still in tact lol
I used to drive for Lyft here in NJ, after they announced that you can now see where the ride is going and what it pays BEFORE you accept it in the app, they dropped the pay on each ride precipitously. So I stopped driving for them. It's a free market, end of story. Not to mention they legalized weed here so I was getting a lot of druggies in the car, stinking it up, I'd have to pull over and air out the car so the next rider wouldn't think I was the druggie, all that for $6 bucks and no tip. GTF outta here. And for some odd reason 95% of the druggies were of a certain color. Just making an observation. Do what you will with the information. I bought a utility trailer and I'm pulling stuff for cash now. Best decision I've made in a while. Still get to make my own schedule.
We’re not claiming as drivers that inflation is killing us when it comes to maintenance it is killing us when it comes to inflation. Uber & Lyft does not pay a single cent when it comes to gasoline the right share endorsement all the maintenance such as oil changes, transmission, services, coolant services, power steering services, brakes services, tire rotations, and replacement services, not to mention the outrageous gas prices. As drivers we fit the bill. Don’t forget the depreciation to our vehicles.
And pay still won’t go up, nothing will change.
A smart thing to do was steal all those customers, before you know it youd have a full taxi service...
You need commercial insurance and a TNC license for that.
Hey, the gig commercials and propaganda told you peeps that you were the boss. Guess you really weren’t the boss.
Guys stop asking wages. Step down the CEO or fire the company
Just wonder why in this type of work they insist on eating per hour? Why don’t they just get a rate card which everyone understands? I miss the days of per mile and minute rates coz everything made sense.
I stop driving because lift is take all the money: it’s robbery
I can’t afford it, my brand new vehicle is being destroyed by the customer and no respect
Uber lies we don’t even make minimum wage anymore
You're contractor not an employee.
I make 18-20 an hour in a very busy market, Las Vegas!!!!!
Yup. Me too but I work full time I hope you are not doing it full time. They are taking advantage of you and the rider. I do it on the way to work and on the way home. Still not worth it. I also have a Prius. Still not worth it lol.
I set a destination towards work It backtracked me and took me the other direction 😂. The share is a robbery too lol.
Minimum 40 per hour must be left to the driver, after expenses
Uber keeps lying about how much the drivers make. I heard the ceo lying how they’re fully supporting driver to get EVs and doesn’t explain how. Most drivers are operating at a loss or can barely make it.
He's an ESG type CEO, why would anybody purchase a 40k Tesla to run it into the ground for 4.00 rides.
It’s true. People pay $40 for food and us the Uber driver get paid about $5 to go pick it up. It would be a 10 minute ride to get the food and on the way to drop of another 20 minutes. By then the gas would be dropping and whatever you made on that last trip usually goes to gas. And it feels worthless
Here is Uber responding: "Ack!,Ack!,Ack!,,,Ack!,Ack! Ack!" what are they saying?" "don't know lets turn on the Translator!"...."we come in peace! hahaha! "we come in peace hahaha!"
I would find another occupation. Get a trade..

I’m proud of you guys…….
OH THEY HAVEN’T included that $0.28 for UBER EAT TRIP EXIT!😂😂😂😂
i think they need to take into account gas prices and the vehicle you are using
I gave up on 2 dollar orders and the 100k they stole
This business model needs to change to better support the drivers and customers.
They will hire migrants
The drivers don’t like it go find a different job
You have no heart, wait until you get into a situation where your employer keeps taking more & demands you work harder - what if they only started paying you in commissions & not minimum wage? How about a salaried position where you work twice the hours & only keep $200 more per week?
@@michaelsabados3829 they already are working on making you happy by not having anything at all. Eventually you will be programmed to do everything the same and depend only on them. It's kinda sad because all of this happened with the invention of the Internet and phone. Unless you live in the mountains forests like a cave person off the grid then I think we are stuck here with them 😔
@@michaelsabados3829then quit and find a different job. the drivers are the ones responsible for their own situation. they are adults!
@@michaelsabados3829 I think one day it will be done by self driving cars and ride sharing companies won’t need drivers
If the wages go up then we pay more to use the service ( I don't use them)
We're simply being squeezed on all sides by design.
*if you or anyone wants higher wages, you better get an education or skill that every homeless person can't do*
What is your favorite flavor paint?
I am junior software engineering front-end developer and have not job what are you talking about. Search online and educate yourself the companies has been giving layoffs to programmers too and when those engineers go to find another job others companies want senior programmers for the junior wages.
Before these technology apps came , cab drivers did well money wise
@@alejandromtbLol, I'm a junior full stack developer and get paid a competitive rate. You can't find a job because you're not good at it. That's all there is to it. No one is laying off their valuable employees.
@@pearlsswine Congratulations. Enjoy while you can. AI is coming for our jobs.
One woman was so drunk and wanted to punch me in my face
That's not right thumbs up to you guys get them protect your rights❤
Here is what I think needs to be done.
Everyone that can. Should post on Ubers/DD's/Dara's X page the same core issues.
I suggest we start with this:
1- Increase fare pay according to courier industry standards and adjust with inflation.
2- Change the Tipping options in the app to:
15% (minimum), 20%, 30%, 50%, and Custom.
(These should be set to what the Drivers agree on, not for Uber to determine)
3- Have a minimum Tip on all offers of 15%.
4- More control on how the app should work, and be tailored for us.
(We do pay these platforms, to use their service. We should have more control over how it works)
Tag the media in those post.
If we ALL post the same fundamental cores.
It just may make a difference.
You can even hash tag Strike, to add some reference to why we are doing it.
Don’t forget that Uber takes .80 just for us to get paid
quit or shuddup and drive drive drive
all they know is driving? that's why they choose to be a Uber/Lyft driver? I never thought someone would actually see it as a real job.
Yes! check you tips! and do the Math they are in fact stealing your tips!!!!!!
Rideshare drivers rally for higher wages Stop the madness Join Revo Rideshare
Maybe $15-$20 active hours. But, out of the pay, we have to take out our own taxes (we are 10-99) car payment, gas, insurance, car washes, oil changes, wear and tear.
Who is forcing them to be rideshare drivers? Take public transit instead.
wait why not jsut do another job instead of lift or ubar ??
It really depends on the market and whether or not you have a new EV lol i just did a 17 mile trip for $40 lol a lot of these people don't want to upgrade their cars or move to a larger market.
I’m a lyft driver who is also a shareholder of lyft. How to make lyft work for you: Take all the ride 100 AR. Invest in Lyft Shares then…. Profit???
You need to think like a shareholder. Just work and they will pay you more with inflation.
Modern slavery 😢
They can quit any time they like.
Wow that's crazy guess I won't try starting to uber o lyft.
It is really disturbing that Uber and Lyft opted to say that their drivers are making x amount of dollars when they're making a third of that at most and they're talking about on averages all around the country when every Market is different but the truth is they're lying and fortunately that's starting to come to light it's not a model they can sustain just like the one hndred dollar ride from point A to point B in the driver only got $36 from that ride that is absolutely par for the course and horrible
This is so stupid 😂
Im gonna apply to Uber and Lyft tomorrow as I am quitting my job. I wants to be my own boss. 😎💪
🤦♂️
Don't do it! Don't do it! Save yourself
UBER AND LYFT ARE 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️
$ 33.00 ??? BULLSHIT
of those 33 dollar 20 going to maintainer and gas
Ooooo double uber pay since there is so little drivers avaliable.
They want to much! Higher pay higher tips just to much and do so little. Sitting at stores after the food been done for 20mins doesn’t give updates or take the food. Y’all cancel rides last minute. The worse contractors ever! No one cares thanks for letting us know about the strike so we go get our own food. Y’all already cancel ride so not surprised there.
What language is this
@@floridabeardedwoodworkerGet off UA-cam and get back to delivering me my McDonald's, Billy. I'll zero out your tip if my food is late.
Exactly. It's literally the easiest job in the world to drive to Taco Bell, pick up a bag, follow the GPS to a house, and drop off the bag, and these geniuses still screw that up most of the time.
Stop crying stop driving
Lmao.
There's only one true only Bay Area that's Northern California. Who say tamp bay is called bay area?
Mabey Uber and Lyft were not intended for you to make 10k a month and support a whole family! Wow MIND BLOWN!!!! 😂
The real issue is that earnings have decreased as the companies keep more of the money. Additionally, they stopped offering the bonuses they used to offer on a daily basis.
@gts3004
Right.
But let's be real about it.
It's the ultimate job of no responsibility.
You work when you want, break/lunch when you want, have no boss looking over your shoulder, don't have to report to a specific place of work...
I could go on...
I agree they should be clearing minimum wage.
The expenses? If you were smart, you'd hold recipets and probably end up paying zero taxes at the end of the ye
Why not? It's a business just like the taxi business.🤦🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️😭
You make a point but still, on a dollar for time basis, no company should be paying below minimum wage after expenses are paid. I think that 90% of the ICs should quit, that would definitely fix Lyft and Uber's wagon but that's not going to happen when you have people coming here from all corners of the Earth willing to work for $40 a day for a full day's work. It should give people pause, especially females, to get into a car with someone that barely speaks any english, has been here a few months, background check from their native country can't be completed and they're willing to take you 20 miles for $5 bucks.
😂😂😂learn how to spell first this people work hard they deserve a fair cut Uber is just an agent the driver does most of the work and incurs all the costs which affects local businesses and economies I appreciate the work they do
I need taxi drivers if any of you is interested.
😂😂😂😂😂
If you don’t like your job, quit!
Well stop driving using your own car 4 work
