Unfortunately I accept everything because the driver amount and over half the time im in traffic when I get another ride and uber needs to display larger that way you can see everything other then the time the ride is going to take I went from 3 days a week making $600 to 7 days maybe $300at best that's working the original 3 days the location as well as the other 4 day scrambling
Uber thinks I'm running on solar panels
I have a Tesla and I charge it with my solar panels. lol
If you have an EV, charge at home with the solar panel
I use time as the way to calculate if I will do the ride or not. 2 miles down the highway and 2 miles through town are not the same but 10 mins is 10 mins no matter where you go (for the most part)
10 minutes on good, wide roads with heavy traffic is the best. unfortunately we don't have that kind of roads in Boston.
NO UPFRONT INFO IN MY MARKET: I work in Philly but NJ doesn't show me upfront info. So if I accidentally accept a ride into NJ, I would turn it off and head back into Philly.
Last night, I had a 2 hr $130 ride to northern PA. Thinking I could get a ride/rides heading towards Philly with Ride Destination, I took it.
Turns out that rural PA also doesn't do upfront info. I drove for an hr before it started giving me the info I needed to make adventageous decisions on incoming ride requests
I was hoping to make $200-250 but made about $160 on a 4.5 hr round trip bc of the lack of upfront info by Pottsville PA. It wasn't great but was a learning experience. Hopefully, this info will help others in my market.
Oh that’s why I don’t see $ before accepting too! TEXAS
I was headed back down to Bridgeport, a one-hour ride, to return someone’s backpack. I had to keep the rides on to maintain the insurance. This was a rented Tesla. I could not accept the rides, because the kid was waiting for his backpack. I had to let the rides go. I tell you, that notifications they send you is annoying, that you will lose your status and benefits (Diamond) if your acceptance rate is too low.
Even at the Diamond level, I am not given the fare or destination address, only the estimated time/distance to pickup, estimated time/distance to destination and a compass direction (N S E W). Even after I accept, the destination is hidden until the rider is in my car and I start the trip. If it’s a multi-stop destination, the other stops are a mystery as well until I click on the “go to next stop” button. I suspect it’s because my area hasn’t switched yet to upfront fares, but it’s ridiculous not knowing where they want me to go before accepting the trip.
And if I drop below an 85% acceptance rate, Im not shown any destination information at all. It happened to me recently and even after I got back over 85%, there was a day lag to get my “Uber Pro” benefits back.
Update your app. Uber needs to give you that information by law
Like me, you are still on time and distance, not upfront pricing. I would love to get the actual pickup and destination in the initial offer, but not for their "ride goes to the lowest bidder" upfront scheme.
@@user-rt4ji9fz5f agreed. I like the time and distance rate card, but the lack of transparency is ridiculous.
It's where you are located. For instance, NJ does that... and I rather turn off uber and drive back to Philly than take rides blindly when my rides takes me into NJ.
It's crazy to make you pick up riders blindly. They won't chance unless you make them. If you and every else in your region stop driving then you would force them to chance. But everyone drives bc they need the money and can't fight the good fight, especially on their own. One of the few good reason for a union, I guess.
@@veronicahoyos-leonard2459no they don’t. There is no law. My market is miles and minutes. Quite a few markets are.
I can not stand the trip radar feature. I wish they would get rid of it
Exactly
it’s throwing popcorn out so the pigeons can eat
Im determined for now on call customers and ask them if they are going to NY or Penn. If they are, i just ask them to cancel. PERIOD. I called uber support over this issue about letting me know the duration of both picking up and dropping off customer, plus the amount. And uber keeps stonewalling me. I still don't see nothing. I have been calling them for 3 months and nothing
Don't waste your time they won't do it.
Good or even great social experiment of modern times. However, financially for drivers and in some cases passengers it’s a bust! These companies are miserable! Use your network, spread the word and drive for yourself!!!!
I know why Uber is not answering. Your job is to drive, and you must go to the destination whether you like it or not. Calling the pax and asking him to cancel is JUST RUDE. Find another job, buddy.
You have to be at a certain level of driver to see all that information.
20 miles for $20 …. You are kidding right?? Gas alone is$4 …. Now you are at $16 …. Looks like you are “helping” Uber decide how LITTLE they will get away with paying the workers/drivers ….. Uber paying you?? Stupid games really …..
That's one trip, dollar per mile is one metric, which may be good in your city or bad, you will habe to habe 4-5 metrics
I’m too the point now I accept every ride . I’ve noticed if your acceptance rate or cancellation rate is high you will not get as many trips. Your business will be slow. I like to stay busy keep the streak going. I would even go into bad areas people are scared because of crimes and gangs. I been doing it for 6 years now and scared money don’t make money
I’m with you 100%. I’ve tried the cherry picking strategy that these two preach. When I’m cherry picking, I go from getting stream of rides, to waiting minutes between offers that are mostly crap.
I am the top driver in a high-crime city. There are days when I cannot get out of there, I shut off and drive out of there, and nearly all of the rides do not break $10. The higher paying “Trip Radar” out of this area are given to or taken by other drivers.
This is VERY helpful. I have been trying to include ALL factors and there is just not enough time. Doing time/per minute pay versus trying to tie in the mileage is great and excludes a time-consuming element that generally lasts too long ,,,, thank you .
Time is money
New driver. This game is perfect practice. I probably won't hit $30/hr in my area, but with newbie limitations, I can shoot for $20. My big challenge is a sprawling 7 city area with lots of tolls. I commute in from the outskirts of Hampton Roads, VA. I'm learning to stay in one city and keep a smaller radius. I've been in the habit of accepting my first ride, because it's usually good money, but I can land me anywhere. I'm not doing that any more.
Dallas/Ft Worth based out of: Grand Prairie, TX near the DFW International Airport 1.5 months into Ride Share Running: Tuesday - Fridays 6/7am till 6/7pm only avoiding the night shifts with the crazies such as: Dr Drugs or Cpt Muleshits...so yeah thanks Monica....
All of those fares were Garbage!!! Up Front Earnings is just a Race to the Bottom, get rid of it and push for a more of a Safety Net Model. Minimum Fare amount, which includes $$$$ per mile and $$$$ per minute and with that you know you will be compensated fairly. Up Front Fares you will just get Bottom Feeders who will just be accepting Garbage. With me in Australia, all I see is minutes away and km away and map of where pick up location roughly is, Nothing Else. I just look at the minutes to pick up and the rough pick up location before I accept, because I know I will be compensated fairly with $$$$ per mile and minutes. I do not care about miles, all I care about is $$$ per hour. If I earn $46/hr or less, I have had a bad shift.
This was an awesome and much-needed video btw
One problem I’m having in Philly market with trip radar the information provided states drop off clearly however unless I memorize city streets I cannot always determine where the destination is. So to a degree I’m still blind and guessing only to find out good payouts are to a not ideal part of city. Even when I select no more trip requests while finishing a trip, the radar comes on when I go back online doing the same crap not showing full map so destination is only address cannot get a visual in time to make decision. Any advice appreciated.
NO UPFRONT INFO IN NJ. This is the reason why when I drive I lean more towards Lyft than Uber. I think it's a slap in the face to us as drivers not giving us more detailed info for us to make informed decisions to accept or decline rides. Uber knows they can do it but choose not to do so.
Ready to pack it in again
THIS IS THE FORMULA! #1-LOOK AT TOTAL MINUTES, DIVIDE BY 2 IN YOUR HEAD AND THEN LOOK IF THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU WILL BE PAID IS MORE DOLLARS THAN THAT NUMBER IN YOUR HEAD. IF YES, THEN LOOK AT TOTAL MILES AND IF TOTAL DOLLARS BEING PAID FOR THE TRIP IS MORE THAN THE NUMBER OF MILES, THEN YOU HAVE A $30/HOUR+ RIDE!!
If you are really good then the last variable is check to see that the destination of the trip matches with your desires. This is the one and only formula
Ok
@@sergioSMTMC1 🥂
Then Uber throttles me
@@HakunaMatataAquatics what does that mean?
10 seconds to pick and if there is a surge bonus then the app cuts in to the base rate😂 truly is a fool’s gold to make a living doing laps around town this days
I am just here to learn about other industries and the job you drivers do is very important. I don’t know why but I seem to enjoy reading the comments like 60% to 40% of the video content ( sorry RSG ) One thing I learned in life is when I show up to work I give it 100% and be courteous to all people I am in contact with regardless of their look because you never know who you met. On the other hand if I am in BS mood I don’t share that so I take a sick day or a vacation day off. Happy Holidays and may your season be profitable.
One more thought: any time there’s a trip that’s conveniently about half an hour.. just double it to calculate your hourly rate. Which, if you know your worth, is more than $11 or $13 dollars an hour.

Hi I’m in Miami area but moving to San Diego - I want to know if there’s a difference in regards with earning for Uber - thanks so much ❤❤
I drive out of Quad Cities (Moline/Rock Island, IL - Davenport/Bettendorf, IA). Most of my pings are more distance to the pickup than the actual ride. For instance, I get trips for 13 miles away, 4 mile trip. That is all I get. I'm constantly busy because I take anything I can get (there isn't 4 million people wanting rides out here). I drive 12 hour shifts 6 days a week and average 30 rides per day - which equates to anywhere between $150-$200 per day. I am a Diamond Level Uber and Elite Level Lyft - 4.98 on Uber/5.0 on Lyft. I never cancel a trip unless the rider doesn't show up. There is no such thing as Uber Comfort/Black or XL out here. They are all UberX.
I'd be happy if Uber would tell us how much trips would be!! My area tells me nothing of pay up front! Makes me so mad when I see how you guys get to know your trip price!
The area that I'm at always shows how much is being paid for ride. However, I was in another part of the state and turned Uber on and It did not show what the pay was at all. All it showed was the distance away and how long it would take to get there. You mentioned that you have that? How can you even take rides? If you don't know what you're going to get paid. It would seem like it's a great way to make sure you're not getting paid fairly.
@@tonyhernandez-fivestarreal1712 ya I hate it and I let them know every single time they ask me for a rating for the platform
@@tonyhernandez-fivestarreal1712 We have a rate card, rides are paid by time and distance. For me, it's $.83/mile and $.14/min
Huntsville, AL doesn’t have upfront earnings on Uber, but it does for Lyft.
When l calculate the time l add extra 4 or 5 minutes specially if l am very close to the pick up location, and most of the time l get rides that pays 1 dollar per minute of my time
@Therideshareguy, This channel gave me the confidence to go ahead and drive Uber. Cherry picking $2 per mile was working perfectly, I stopped burning thru gas and was making $31hr consistently. But for the past two weeks, I haven't seen a trip over $0.85 (often less). I don't know what is going on, also I'm waiting as long as 10-15 minutes for ride offer. Today, I didn't get a ride offer for 35 minutes. I drive in Chicagoland, south loop, medical district to South suburbs. Please, 🙏 Sergio have you heard anything similar from more experienced drivers in my market?😢
Same here, Erica. I also focus on $2 per mile. I've trained that way for awhile since upfront pricing
In New Jersey I can’t see the details that you are showing unless you are platinum or diamond
He'll I wish the offers you have,I would take in south carolina, the offers here are bad,why isn't all costs rhe same all over all states
@timetowakeup6302 so true,I have alot of screen shots I have takin,just to show the crap we are getting in sc
I'm in San Antonio. Sprawl is part of the problem, which means all trips will have long distances. According to this video, all San Antonio rides are trash.
Trash to Cash is a recycling market held every first Friday and Saturday of the month to encourage waste segregation and recycling among our customers and tenants.
In NY they only show us how many minutes instead of the price. How we can figure? Yours still show address. In NY only says South, North, East, etc. how to know?
Cash-for-Trash is an incentive programme by Public Waste Collectors, where residents may bring their recyclables to the Cash-for-Trash stations.
Interesting video to see others mindsets and posted comments. However, I'm surprised to see nothing about passenger rating being part of the 10 second decision. The 1st 2 examples had ratings of 4.74 and 4.61...instant declines for me! After 7+ years of Uber/Lyft , I've learned to not accept ANY passengers rated below 4.8, period.
@HMan621 4.7 or better for me; I noticed too that passengers with 4.6 or lower are a complete headache or problem makers
Mostly women worry about ratings. Males don't care.
Very interesting I have not even learned yet how to figure out what there reading system is I am so worried about looking at the distance and time and money in them little seconds that you have
When was this and is it on I phone or Android because u have an android phone and I never see the payout
How do you know how many drivers are around your areas?
😂I drive metro Vegas 11pm to 6:30 am AWAY FROM STRIP & DOWNTOWN and those times for the distance travelled are so excessive. My rides are mostly 45mph to 70mph. When the traffic starts obstructing am done.
For every single ride they took 34% plus they take a fee for comercial insurance which is terrible in Minneapolis are
Every city is different..but for me.. I always pick the lowest paying short distance trips.
1. They keepe in the city ..where it's busy
2. They get me to my bonus quicker which is my #1 focus
3. They keep me sane ..which means I stay motivated to keep driving
4. They keep me in the city where we often have boost+ promotions throughout the day
5. They keep me in the city which Is most likely to have some good surges throughout the day.
6. I know my numbers..this strategy I always average $10 + per ride ..unless it's extremely slow.
So on a 80 trips with a $200 bonus iake about $800 + $200 which is $1000 weekend
And most of the time it's more.
Not bad for some shtty rides
send me your last 4 weeks earnings summary, sergio@therideshareguy.com
Would you do this where 95 percent of the passengers are in hood or sketchy areas. My market is full of foolish people. In the city I work at this is the majority of the bonus area. I have so many stories by drug runners and gangs people packing, car jacking setups. I have to report that at 3 out of 5 rides not safe pick ups.
@@allenwinston9225 no like any city, we have sketchy areas, but I'd be lying if I say I feel unsafe here .. I see stuff about places like Chicago, NOLA , Baltimore etc.. I wouldn't
The reality about rideshare, it's not for every location.. It wouldn't make sense for me to do it if I lived in the suburbs, it's simply not busy enough.
..but to be fair to Uber and Lyft .. it's not on them to fix your city.
What is this "money for miles" thing people do? It should always be for the time. $1 for every 2 minutes gets you $30 an hour, $2 for every 3 minutes gets you $40 and hour. It's the only math you need to know.
1. Look at the $$ per minute. Are you going to average out $30 an hr... or what ever your goal is. But don't sell yourself short!!!
2. See where it is going. Are you going to a ride dead zone? Accept a lower amount only if you want to go that direction anyway (final ride and heading home)
3. See the rating of the rider. Don't get stuck in your car w an/multiple A holes for more than 10 minutes. It's just not worth it.
many metrics to figure out profitability
Yea now up to 148 declines in the north Scottsdale/Phoenix area. Your .50 per minute is not valid here. Have not done a single ride yet in 2 hours 20 min. That is how pathetic the Phoenix market is. Finally turned it off and went to do door dash.
I love doing any uber ride on the 110 freeway, especially because i have fastrak and its free with 2 or more passengers :)
North FL still not doing upfront earing
Yeah yeah true Sergio.Carson absolutely NO!!really depends on your area
I'm going to give an easy answer. Know the area and traffic patterns and how people respond to different situations such as weather. I deal with this as a new driver but I've worked and went to school in Pittsburgh, PA.
Hello guys, I am a new Uber driver in New Jersey. I am not seeing the cost and where my rides are going until I pick up the passenger. Please let me know how to change this feature if it can be changed on my phone.
Where do you see if an area has a high # of rides or not?
I drive Uber in Chicago. What should you be your advice for me please ?
I have no upfront fare in Asheville NC
What do think about ride share.. i got one and didnt know it was a such.
Be careful with the ride share. It says it by the request. Problem is they could send you 10 miles out and you don't know the next one is that far. I have opted not to do ride shares anymore because all the overlapping requests are coming to you are not defined. They are just pushed to you and you don't know how far you are going
Gary, Indiana which is in the Chicagoland area doesn't
Neither does Lafayette
"each 15 minutes"?
Night time Vegas I mostly get my next ping as soon as the app sees where my current trip is dropping. I am nearly always trip-to trip-to trip-to trip. Unless a trip goes to the strip, then I kill requests til I can get away. Am not earning at 10 minutes per block.
Crazy time limits for only 5 miles lol. Multi apping in medium sized cities u can make back muliappin
On the second example, I actually chose "Cash." I figured Inglewood is good since it puts you in a possible pickup area around SoFi Stadium/LAX. But it works out to be 47¢ per minute. Sergio says 65¢ minimum. The offer would have to be at minimum $24.70. Offer shown is $17.89.
Hence I would not do it only for the same reason you mentioned
I use to get $120 from Easton to Brooklyn, I use to get $88,$95 from Easton to NJ airport, now they want me to drive to NY for $62 dollars, now they want me to do those same NJ airport trips for $44 dollars, 82 miles to NY for $62 dollars.😂 In the afternoon I rejected $120 trips that were to NY, the hell I will take that trip 164 miles total for $62 dollars.
I haven't take a single long trip in months, I even complain in their Twitter page and put the trip they were giving me vs what they really charge the PASSANGER for that trip and told them to stop trying to scam me.😊
Find another job
Same for me I used to drive for Lyft, passengers pay 24 to 28$ and as a driver I used to get only 10,75$, working during the day or during the night makes no difference… I had 3$ 4$ ride offer in the middle of the night… I STOPPED
@@911nacky Yeah I stopped driving for them, and strangely enough, I had to take an Uber a few days ago and Lyft wwas charging a dollar more then Uber, so they charge even more and give you less.
To me, when it says “tip included”, I think it would be wise to go ahead and count your total as whatever minus the tip. Just to be safe
This guys says no to a lot. How do he make any money if he says no all the time?
Your correct
Need to consider the rating as well
Mine is blurry 😞
It's weird.. I drive in Bensalem PA near Philly and whenever I go into New Jersey I cannot see where I'm picking someone up or dropping off... is there anything I can do to change this?
No. Driving Uber in NJ is blind. No upfront pricing and really sucks.
yes yes sergio you true ！about the 50 50 0.5 per minute
I am a five-star Lyft driver. I don't refuse rides unless they go to Ohara airport, where I can not get rides in the area, and TNP has 200 drivers. Greedy drivers who refuse to drive or ask pax to cancel act like taxi drivers and will ruin the business for all because of their lousy service. 😮
Why do you not refuse pings? I would love to interview you, and would love for you to send me your last 4 weeks earnings summary for analysis. do you know your profitability metrics? do you know your CPM? sergio@therideshareguy.com
This is such a great exercise!
Whats the deal with comfort rides thats a negative.... he said when talking about that 1st one being trash and he said "and its a comfort ride on top of that"
Longer wait times for pax
Lyft/uber treating drivers as slaves . $82 trip driver got $18 honest to God
Uber sending new requests while you are still driving and have a rider. They can wait until u complete that ride, then send a new request, a big safety hazard
For those of us who rent EVs, $ per mile is not as relevant as $ per minute. As renters, our vehicle expense is fixed and as EV driver on unlimited plan, fuek costs are also fixed.
I just accept them all. Hartford. Once I accepted a “Chester” ride because it paid so well. It was Chester, PA, not Chester, CT. The state was cut off on the screen. I hurried down to PA, because I had to make it back for my airport reservations in Bridgeport, which cancelled due to my not being back in the 3 minute timeframe.
Accepting every ride just make the prices go down.
Braintree ma to logan airport. 30 min ride. 14. 14 and take out a toll. People throw 50$ around to park a day. I told them all airport runs will be declined.
Time is everything in my opinion. What am I making for the time I’m taking out of my day?
How are you doing? I’m gonna Dallas market
The thing is when it’s slow you accept all rides just to stay busy.
The time is extremely important but if I know I can cut the time in half by taking another route and knowing my local traffic behavior I will take/decline
Not possible. You can't cut any ETA they provide by half unless it's a two minute ETA and you do a Uturn in the parking lot to shave it in half.
@@bossbrent maybe I should have worded it better but will never take rides knowing going into traffic
Hi Cris & Sergio, I’m new in the business as driver for Uber and Lyft I live in the north area of Orlando and really don’t know how to read the metrics for the trips also I just moved to FL just couple of months ago so I’m not familiarized with the whole area what would be your advice to optimize my revenue
U Will learn by watching Uber drivers UA-cam videos and by working. It’s the risk
It's time for a strike. Did you see what Uber's stock price is YTD?
These are literally slavish fares even with surge.
Only count at the end of the week, how much money you made for how long, those numbers tell you how much you made by hour, $ 20/hour, should be decent for me.
Please for the life of me… Ppl stop 🛑 taking these $4.00 rides! Uber is trying to condition us to take smaller and smaller fares…. Next thing you know it would be $3.25 fares
I'll take a $4 fare for a 2 mile or less ride.
I have had several $3 rides to adjacent towns.
I tried to stay within the perimeter of the money going to the pickup and pick up and drop off all that should be within that $4 or whatever it is
You did not factor in Quest bonus. How do you figure in Quest bonuses? If I have a Quest paying, say average of $1.50 per ride, I add that to UpFront fare so if $10 ride comes in with 20 minute total pickup and drop off time, that’s $11.50 for 20 minutes or $34.50 per hour of active time.
I NEVER look at the surge prices. That is useless. That only applied when ride fares were based on time and mileage, but now Uber can just lower the base fare to offset the surge value. I once got base fare of -$1.00 (yes, a negative base fare) when I had a sticky surge. I even kept screenshot of the ride.
Has anyone evaluated the accuracy of Uber estimated pickup and ride times? What about driving at speed limit? If Uber dings us on exceeding speed limit, their estimates should be based on the speed limit and not the flow of traffic.
Wow ALL cities should have destination visible IMO. Nobody wants to end up in a potentially dangerous area in the middle of the night..
If U Can Drive A Mile A Minute in Your Area ... U Can Winn in Miles CalcULations as Well ... I Do think Calculating Miles @$1 or $2 or $3 or $4 per Mile in Minute(s) per Mile ... if No Travel Congestions ""Are Still GrAte Calculations by Miles"" ... Sergio I Beg to Disagree On Only Calculating @.50 cents a Minute ... And At That Many of My Trips Are then offering $1 or $2 a Minute. I do Early Mornings or Late Evenings or Areas no congested Traffic as well ... To Avoid Delays in My Movements $$$ ""I DriveWinn$$$"" & Selected Trips With Offerings of Higher Tip$ Are Also Factoried in My Money Calcuulations too offering Mee $300+ Each Week in Free Money Tip$$$$
So I tried your method using the time instead of miles. Saturday night I have already 60 declines in the first hour and 0 rides as 0 offers were paying .50 per minute. Am in the Phoenix market. First 90 min 60 declines. As I said none were even close to .50 per minute on either Lyft or Uber. So now what?
Then, you must adapt, all markets are different, if there is demand there must be surge, position yourself correctly
@@sergioSMTMC1 Yea, I fully understand about adapting. My acceptance rate is pretty close to yours at 12% Out here in Scottsdale, rideshare starts ramping up the week of Christmas... nice surges, and extremely busy heading into new years eve...then we have the Barrett Jackson Car auction, followed by the Phoenix Waste Management Open Golf tourney, best week of the year for drivers. And then spring training. But now, it is still very high demand, as I ended up with approx 170 declines on Uber X and Lyft last night. 0 surging. So shifted to Door Dash for 2 hours, and did well, about $73 then went back to ride share, still no surges, but caught 2 rides that got me $60 in an hour and 17 min... Not great, but was doable.
Ok, but how is everyone being “selective” and not losing you status due to acceptance rates? When I’m “selective” I lose my platinum status due to a low acceptance
I'm new to rides I usually do Ubereats/ Doordash. My Comment/Question Is ...
In NJ, I don't even see how much the trip is or pick up/drop off location. It Just shows how many minutes to the pick up. If you except. Once you pick up passenger you only see time it'll take to drop them off. Once you drop off that's when you see the pay! Why is that?
Bc Uber is evil
I accept every ride since the name of the game is to get people where they are going. I understand it’s different for those who do it full time. I only log on when I get days off from my oilfield job. I’ve been a rider for many years and it’s saved me from several dui’s
Can you email me sergio@therideshareguy.com
@fixtheapp418 🤣🤣drivers like me would run laps around you, you seem not to like us, great, like I said, we can't make everyone happy, specifically people who are unhappy about what they're doing. Here's my offer to you, start your own channel I'll be the first one to subscribe
@@fixtheapp418 I see what you mean, I’m just in a different position where the money isn’t as important and I only log in one week a month since my regular job is 3 weeks on and one week off. I know from being a rider they offer promos and stuff which is probably what makes some of them so low. They would probably be better off going back to how it was setup originally and just offer a straight fare for time and mileage and pay the driver 75% instead of collecting most of the fare for advertising and whatever else they think they need.
@@fixtheapp418It's amusing that you've elected yourself the Speaker of the Ants ! 😂
isn't slower moving trips better for your body? it's less stress to spend time in traffic than moving on a crowded parkway -- especially if you have a good autopilot to creep with traffic.
Chris, Sergio, this is an exercise to include at the end of each live stream. The final 10 minutes. Great Job!
We actually changed the format last week, check it out and send me your suggestions sergio@therideshareguy.com
When was this Taped because Uber doesn’t have the surge pricing anymore at all whatsoever all it is is fake surging. It says surge, but you don’t see any type of Dowler amount attached to it anymore. Which I think is ridiculous. Another way for them to scam us drivers as well as the passengers.
First decline due to miles and rating, second decline due to rating
Meanwhile NYC suburbs still only see distance to pickup.... No idea of destination or pay. Literally driving blind
Just do the dollar per mile math and try to stack rewards
Uber is saying 33 dollar active hour what? Where? What does that mean?
You never discuss the fact that if one does not accept a ping, Uber punishes you, even if it is an uneconomical ping!!!! This is criminal Uber!!!!!!!! Uber should NOT punish us if we deny an uneconomical ride!!!!!!
@fixtheapp418 ..... in Darwin, if your acceptance rate goes below 85%, you can not see the distance of your next ride! ... this is a huge punishment, because one can not work out if it is worthwhile! .... it is very important to see the distance of the next ping!!!!
@fixtheapp418 .... yes, many times .... and once you are below 85%, it is difficult to get back above 85%, because then Uber bombards you with many uneconomical rides! .... it is criminal!!!
High driver acceptance rates, lowers customer wait times. But When you decline they have to offer the ride to drivers farther away. Happy customers means more people choosing uber. Which creates more demand.
@@swaggermac18 ...... so will you drive 20km to do a 1km ride?????
How do I do this without upfront pricing. They screwed me this morning to pick up a minor. I waited the 7 minutes, got $9.42 and reported him to Uber. Hours later they took my $9.42 and replaced it with $3.85! I was pissed and asked why they said it was a wrong price adjustment, I ended up getting $6.85.
In Connecticut the first one $20 is might be good
I see an Uber Share come up that's more than a 20 minute ride it gets declined.
Myrtle Beach doesn't have ufe
