What do you think about this? Let us know!
I think all you have to do is be 100% acceptance 0% cancellation be a five star driver and have at least 10,000 rides then they’ll start giving you great rides you have to work for that respect from the company then you’re a company man living in a bubble I’m just saying
Well I’m pissed is Uber and Lyft are taking the majority of arrives. I had one person on Lyft I mean $7.23 on the ride but lift got paid $30 from the writer why are they making $22.77 and I’m making as the driver doing all the work $7.23. Why is that
Well said guys👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@YogiBear-hw4xrexactly
They send the exact same ride (usually a money loss or way opposite direction when destination filter is on) more than once now. I have starting taking screenshots of every trip requests.
They’re getting cocky after their high earnings report. 2 Billion dollar increase year to year - that money comes out of driver’s pockets
I agree with you
You're so right. They literally are making their money on our backs, but because they changed anything. It's because they're taking more and more from the drivers.
@Scrotey McBoogerballs Driver pay went from a 70/30 split to 40/60. The $2b profit came out of our hides. Sadly uninformed (or desperate) drivers still take these rides
@Scrotey McBoogerballs up the charges on fares for passengers and lowered the pay for drivers, so you and I did pay for this.
Budweiser was cocky too....
Maybe you guys wake up and we strike. Shutdown the airport rides etc. Uber and Lyft.
I told Uber where to go just now and how to get there. After picking up 4 unruly passengers all which seem to be under the age of 18 but still able to have and account. They threaten to kill me and told me to shut up and drive . I suddenly stop my car and told them to get the F out of my car. I’m not defending myself against none of these passenger’s anymore
Damn right! Don't take crap from ANYBODY! I would not only kick them out, I would report this to the cops as well. I also have a dashcam so they can't tell me jack.
Lol
Damn right!!!!!
@wturner777 you need taser wired back seats
Don't take four people at a time anymore. ESPECIALLY young people.
We have to do a National strike
Just leave them and don’t ride anymore for them so they can see for themselves
@@scroteymcboogerballs4699 that is just a name. Because in reality they control us no matter if we are contractors. When you control someone working for you is because is your employee. But of course , they do not want to recognize that because they will have to pay better , give us benefits and pay they share when it comes to taxes matter. Its a lot for them, so they just decided to steal from riders and drivers, that is all.
We need to be more organized and unified
No driver can stop driving for more than a day
@@forexcobar7273just a one day strike would cost them millions
Here in Darwin, Australia, if one's acceptance rate drops below 85%, they take away the privilege to see the distance of the next ride! This is the most important thing a driver wants to see!!! It is criminal from Uber's side to do this!!!! I get so many uneconomical ride requests, that I can NOT accept...... but then I get punished for it!!!!! I wish that we could have a class action law suite against this act of Uber!!!
I don't mind getting these requests, but I should NOT be punished if I do not accept them!!!!
I really hate Uber for doing this to it's drivers!!!
Stop driving
I wish we still had it that way, a fixed rate with the multiplier… ahh the good days
Same in Canada
Send a tweet (X) to Elon Musk and ask him to buy Uber ... maybe he'll even buy you self driving Teslas
I'm in the u, s, but i'm sure just like Australia right now times are tough and they know that they're taking advantage of it We need to organize something worldwide we're we all just don't work a couple of days You'll see them cooperate real fast
Don't cut your own throats. Do not make driver referrals to Uber or Lyft. Do not train new drivers for them. They rely on this business model. A constant influx of new drivers so they can deactivate and screw over experienced drivers. Don't refer new drivers.
They don't offer enough to do that in the first place but I do agree. Let them do their own work.
EXACTLY!!! The market in Houston,Tx is flooded with shithole drivers 🤬🤬🤬
TH-cam has so many blogs and subscribers are in the millions. That’s how I found the gig. So many are part timers capturing some cash flow. Until they have done the gig for a couple months they probably don’t realize they are just cannibalizing their own asset (vehicle). Some never understand this.
Doubt not referring a friend will have any negative impact but hope you are right.
Uber sends me rides like …$7 for a 30 mi trip. No thank you
What market are you in?
You all must be in some shitty markets or just plain stupid.
I’m in the Atlanta Market
I took a trip March 14th
25 min 42 secs, 18.1 miles
I was paid $18.84 and customer paid $23.92
GA Tax took $0.58
Uber Insurance took $6.01
Uber Service Fee took $1.51
ALL of my trips are like this. Uber Insurance company ALWAYS takes the most money, but even then the amount I make vs what the driver paid isn’t far off.
FACTS! Uber stop sending drivers $2.89, $3.89 or $7.89 rides!! Then you won't have to deal with drivers denying consecutive rides
When im down town, some of the rides are goong to be very short...but a pick up will be close..so its not a huge issue to get 4 dollar rides at times
Last year i had almost an 80% acceptance rate, thia year its dropped to about 35% and idc lol fuck you Uber
@suemitchel-runow3566 I took the time to figure out the cost of my gas & my vehicle per ride; which comes put to about $4 per ride. So for me, even a $4 ride, is just breaking even. Only Uber is making money on that ride. If I'm not making some kind of profit then I'm not accepting the ride.
Same thing with UberEATS

Today I kept getting crap offers and went to the airport.... But sat there for 30 minutes with "16-20" cars ahead of me and cars kept leaving and I realized I must have been in purgatory. I was so mad!!!
What’s purgatory?
@@johnmoss5035 basically where you don't get any rides for a while but you are still logged in
@@johnmoss5035A place where people wait for judgement of being sent to heaven or hell.
@@johnmoss5035 its like being in limbo its a place that is not heaven or hell. you've been banished.
@@johnmoss5035REALLY 💀
I don't take any ride less than $10, but I also watched my distance for pickup and delivery
Wow! This sucks! I hear passengers and what they paid for the ride vrs what I received, its ridiculous 😡
I hate when they tell me what they paid for the ride. Sometimes it makes me want to just turn the app off. Riders have offered to tell me and I ask them not to tell me 😅. I'm so serious.
I feel you on that they pay enough money for us to get a bigger cut
It's insane! UBER does on Avg. 25 million rides a day world wide and if they just made $2 a ride that's 50 million dollars a day but they are making way more than that and they try to say they aren't profitable 😂 Shit makes me 🤢🤢🤢They really need to start taking care of us again before it comes back to bite them in the ass!
@@Curtis_Georgewhat's crazy is that when you look it up online it says Uber only takes 20% but I did the math it's 50%
They pay usually double what I get paid
They kill me with community guidelines. If I'm not your employee
then this should be my guidelines not yours. I'm not driving anyone anywhere for 4 dollars. It's just a matter of time before someone has another rideshare. Trust me they are working on it...
Stop feeding into the nonsense. It's not ridesharing it's an illegal taxi
Watch for InDrive, driver Co-ops & other rideshare apps to come to your market
As long as we are not employees of UBER they can’t order us, can take and reject. I drive my car if the trip is not worth taking then so be it. Tired of UBER’s threats.
Exactly
Everybody must stop driving ASAP!!!!!
@@DriverSTRIKE we can’t keep on paying them driving our car, buy tires, maintenance, gas, insurance, wear and tear of our cars. We are in the game to make decent money.
💯
They just want you to do your job
That's 100% correct. It's up to Uber and Lyft to give us rides we can't reject. Some of the current rides are so absurd, it's like giving charity after expenses. We don't need rideshare to decide our charity. We can do that on our own.
Uber is taking too big a cut in the Uber X division. They claw away 50 to 75 % of the fee charged. That is an outrage. It is naked corporate greed. We haven't had a raise in 5 years. It's just about on the "not worth it" line.
Unfortrunatly it's not just sbout greed...they are not very profitable...cant really pay their share holders who invested in the company
Their software engineers make more than 350k a year. A full kitchen services 24/7. End of year bonuses of 200 to 500k each!!! Each Uber employee makes an average of 300k a year!!! That is why Uber is not profitable!!!
Yeah I tried out the rideshare in the biggest city in Florida and it’s not worth it. Cost of operating a vehicle and the wear and tear from all the driving and what you have to put up with from passengers on top of the costs is ridiculous. Not worth it. I’m going to try out the food side for a week or two and if I’m not making at least $150 more a week then I’m out cuz it’s just not worth it
@elcucuydelasmananas6363 yes. 💯
@@suemitchel-runow3566 Not profitable?!!!😂😂😂 WTF are you smoking? Just think they do approximately 25 million rides a day and if they just made $2 a ride that's 50 million dollars a day and you know they male more that $2 a ride so I don't want to hear that they aren't very profitable! It's called they pay themselves absurd salaries! Give me a FKN break trying to take their side!
Its hilarious that drivers keep getting the shaft but keep driving still. These companies have been BS for the last FIVE years.
Dying to survive.
Yea real dumbasses LOL
Just trying to pay bills, no real other jobs out here
@@thomasmueller2319 I hope something better comes along for yous both. And they also set these apps up to be addictive
@@thomasmueller2319 The lockdown response to "not gain of function" research impacted the economy.
Equity may also play a role.
After publishing my video "DoorDash Diversity", DoorDash de-platformed me. DoorDash refused to provide any reason for this action. It wasn't late or missing deliveries, low star ratings, or anything about my performance. DoorDash would not disclose their reasons to me.
I did a good job, found bugs, published my video "DoorDash Diversity", and was subsequently banned for reasons DoorDash refused to disclose to me.
But I'm currently not driving. Yesterday, another entitled passenger canceled on me after I drove 13 minutes to pick him up in a surge. The rider actually called me to demand I cancel his trip because he was angry about having to pay a cancellation fee.
After he cancelled, I had to call Uber Driver support. And, after about fifty minutes of fighting (and being hung up on) by Uber Driver support, I received a $3.75 cancellation fee.
I followed up in Driver Support chat and got the usual. They don't listen to the problem and refused to compensate me more than the $3.75 that I had to fight for in the first place. No surge price, no compensation for the extra time to pick up the entitled rider.
I repeated my case in writing, very clearly.
After more bs from Uber, pretending to not understand, closing the issue, etc, I went full troll.
I sent Uber support dick picks and told them to eat my shit.
I'm not driving.
How do we work for ourselves, When Uber, try to have all the control
Unite, unity is the strength of power.
I’m been driving for Uber for 3 years, but I’m about to let this shit go .. they’re abusing us. I just to love it , but now I’m not making any money 3 hours online and I haven’t get any tides..
It's over
They aren't even adjusting trips anymore.
Ai is most likely in the messaging more than actual support.
Adjusting trips?
What are you talking about? Adjusting trips?
Also they know what price moves the vehicle....they are penny pinching....Also, they offer boost pay just to have you on call for a ride.....not many rides come through with boost and even when boost pay still low
Uber blowing themselves up
😂 Now I feel good about it. This company sucksass
Everyone complaining but they still drive LOL!
Here is a trick to keep acceptance high, if you see a schitty ride on the trip radar, quickly log off for a bit. That way you don’t get hit with that garbage. And you keep acceptance levels high and you don’t do the bad rides.
Why do you guys want to keep jumping through these hoops just stopped working for this company this is a China sweatshop they are laughing their ass at you and they are giving passengers free rides how do I know? because down here in South Florida it's free for the passengers, because you guys are suckers who keep doing this, stop driving!!
Male, I’m a driver in Austin Tx .. we are a very busy city .. since couple weeks ago .. I been making $60 sometimes on 7 hours ..
I called Uber and they said is low demand, but I don’t believe I asked other drivers and they getting ride . Do you think there’s something to do w the app ?
@@emilyweiler7843 sorry didn’t see your reply. How is your acceptance and or cancellation rate? I had the same issue a few weeks back. Chicago here, there are nearly 10 million people here. So for me it was the app.
@@emilyweiler7843 $60 in 7hrs? I'm in Houston and I would be pissed if that happened to me. If I put in 7 hours, I wanna be in the $150 - $200 range if not more! I usually make 30-40 an hr in Htown. Austin should be just as good. You don't have to accept every ride, just take the shorter trips that are anywhere from 1-6 miles and don't take anything over that and I garuntee younwill make more $$$
Recently Lyft is offering better bonuses $150 for EV , $70 weekdays for 30 rides and $70 for weekend. Plus their rates have gone up , let’s see how long Uber can push their luck for. Haven’t done Lyft for a year but past 2 weeks been doing only Lyft .
$70 fpr 30 rides is garbage if the rides themself are crappy pay for the mileage you drive and/or far from where you are to even pick up the rider. I used to drive for uber/lift about a year ago. Not anymore. They cut the pay by about 50%. I thought it was barely worth it at that time. Its definitely not worth it now. You pay gas, wear n tear, plus taxes. So my question to you is, how little are you actually getting paid with all of that?
@@hungrycrypto9077 I own a Tesla , usually average $30 an hour . If it ever drops below that , will stop driving .
@@hungrycrypto9077Dude are Uber weekday bonus for 40 trips is $25. Our weekend trip is also 40 trips for $25. They gave us $355 for 60 trips before they decide to ram us in the pooper.
Fuvk that 70 trips 50 bucks 😢😂🤡🤡🤡
In smaller towns I have a hard time getting a Lyft ride because of all the criminals driving.
Couple days ago uber eats gave 6 dollars for a 7 mile drive after 30 sec offered 11 dollars for the same ride. Yesterday there was an order from taco bell offered 6 dollars for 0.4 mile drive got excited but employees were doing nothing so canceled. After under a minute same ride was 13 dollars because everybody was rejecting. So they are trying to find what is your lowest. I m 100 percent sure they charge the customer a lot more. So dont take cheap orders just cancel.
Uber’s trip time estimates are typically less than Apple’s time estimates and less than the actual trip time. A 23 minute trip will generally take closer to 28 minutes.
I will not except a delivery under $6
I made mine $7. I got an offer yesterday for $6. No tip. I resent these people that don’t tip.
Glad I retired last month. Forever. The BS is a trap. Slavery in the gig economy. FR
Thank the sorry people in life.
Gig economy coming for most jobs. The new age Slavery is alive and well in America 2023
Why the hell is it on me to give cheap rides to customers? Who just had a 2 BILLION DOLLAR increase last year? Not me! And DEF not by being a charitable short bus!!! I call bullshit!!!
The upfront fares in Houston suck. I have been driving uberx for two months. One hour, 45 miles for $32. Most rides i get are on trip radar and i have rejected the same ride and the price has been different multiple times for the same shitty ride
Saw that today in Dallas! Shitty trip radar came up for 9.50 than I got the same request for 8.25 on a ping
I’m here in Houston and complained about inconsistent fares. They pretty much cut into my tips. I had one ride they took 10$ and paid me $2. I used to love this job, now I hate Uber. I watch the videos on TH-cam of the guy testing out the Tesla and how much money he was making. In Houston, I make half of the numbers he showed. All you earn is money to pay for gas that you end up spending on gas to give more rides. So after a month and a half with Uber, I didn’t make hardly any at all, take in the deprecation on my car, I basically worked to go backwards. Thank god I quit tonight!
All of the gig companies are doing this
The absolute end of Driving.
What would happen if All drivers declined All rides?
It would send Uber a message to do better but, you know its going to be that one driver like.
Newbie Driver: Ooooo I'll take this
Screen: $6.45 2 miles to passenger / 9 miles to passenger destination.
This means you are a hourly employee and you should be paid hourly and have paid benefits...
It's nearly impossible to make decent money anymore. I used to be happy go lucky. I refuse to driven12 hours I would put enough miles on with 4-6 hours.
Rideshare has become ABSURD. IF Illinois passes that Bill .
It's up for grabs
I support IDG , but have grown weary of the greed
Smoke & mirrors
What's great is when you ignore a Trip Radar offer, then it comes back around as a regular trip you are then forced to decline. And even after you decline the trips, if you happen to be driving towards the pick up location, the trip offers keep getting lower even after you reject them. So dumb.
Ok how about this. What if after the 2nd decline, the drivers just logs off and log back on? 🤔
They'll send you to the back of the line then and you'll start all over
I think uber should work on the ride algorithms and create a better network for drivers experiences. Pay, acceptance rate, cancelation rate. It should be more incentives for drivers for accepting bs rides. Many of us drivers take on bs rides to keep our acceptance rate high... but uber needs to have incentives to make up for these rides. Share the wealth and stop ignoring the very people that make the platform possible.
You are not an independent contractor when they are skewing the terms monthly
Seems like being a Taxi Driver probably pays you more than Uber or Lyft honestly. You would just have to do it Full-Time or just get a CDL
I am retiring from driving for Uber, 5.19 gallon gas. Uber makes many millions and the poorest drivers every day.
Happened to me as well and I’m a relatively new driver. I was logged on and ignored three bs rides for less than a dollar a mile. Uber hit me in the app and said “ we took you off line because we see you’ve missed three rides in a row, are you ok? I replied “ yes I’m ok” they then said I could go back on line in five minutes and if I wanted they would send me to some lounge. Those rides were just as bad so I went home
To make a ride better, all they have to do is add a surge. $3 surge on a $3 ride made it $6 for about 2 miles. That's a decent ride. I can do about 4-5 of those per hour and HOPE they give me my $3-5 tip per ride versus stealing it. If they did that, it's $30 in fares and $30 in tips: $60/hr for short trips and you're going about 20 miles, total...if that.
There are very few 2 mile rides whete i work
@@suemitchel-runow3566 you must do a lot of commuting rides instead of bar rides.
@@MicDropBBQ If your making $60 an hr that's awesome but if your not making at least $20 an hr in a big city then your doing something wrong!
I just get the number of good drivers and call them personally. cut uber right out.
This is the way.
🙈Timeout. Ouch. 😏 Putting everybody in timeout including the good drivers because of your crap offers is a bad idea. 🤙 Let's see how that goes. 🤣🤣🤣
The bad drivers are the problem.
Decline decline decline that’s how Uber get the message
I have stopped driving for uber for this
❤3 month 🚫❌❌❌ stop driving.
I agree my acceptance rate has plummeted
I don't care about acceptance rate...it gets you nothing and Uber/Lyft get rich
I’m convinced they are putting rides in trip radar to keep drivers signed into the app. This shows no surge and then they charge whatever they want
Nope, nope , nope , trip radar purgatory ? Sign off. I’ll do Lyft or go home instead.
Just be sure to drive early mornings so people can have rides. A lot of people jump on Lyft taking money away from the decent people and only delivering "when they wake up or feel like it."
Sometimes I see them taking 50 to 70% of the fare. In some cases in trip radar
I have been engaged to wait and give rides for 10 hours making 120 gross pay earnings that’s $12.00 gross an hour ?
I’ve read several comments about ‘strikes’. I used to have a 100% acceptance rate a few years ago, now it’s more like 43%. I refuse to lower my standards. We just all need to do that. How would they explain 6 million drivers and no one can get picked up…lol
I drive just outside of NYC in the suburbs of Westchester County. My acceptance rate is below 30%. I have not heard of this new policy.
The dispatcher is at Fort Lauderdale Airport Florida Night Shift, we demand that they change it immediately. He doesn't understand, he doesn't know, he doesn't have any kind of experience in this business, and I have a lot of evidence of that. Uber Home Management please change this dispatcher on night shift Fort Lauderdale FL airport immediately.
I continue to watch this video. It's so dead on. Chris and Serge, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this video!!!
Leave it to corporate America to step on their own foot like this.
Drivers make us our billions since we provide basically nothing, so let’s fuck over our drivers. And I bet they’ll be mad when Lyft eats up that market share.
Lyft is actually struggling to survive..laid off like 1200 people and got a new CEO in hope to keep it solvent
It’s funny how they are punishing us but if my mom is correct, if you look at your taxes from what you made for the year compared to what you actually received, we think they’re making us the drivers pay for their portion of the federal income tax.
Thanks Sleepy Joe Biden
I started in 2014 in SF. It was $7.50 min. The only time I didn't accept was because I had just worked hours and hours without taking a piss.
Dara just won 160 million in options I dont believe he gives two shits about the end point driver. Uber drivers across the US need to UNITE and stop this unethical “profit” they have achieved. Any business can be profitable if they dont pay labor and just because Uber has been able to be savvy with regards to drivers being “indie contractors” doesnt mean we aren’t labor…Uber is the kind of business Jimmy Hoffa seriously preached against.
Uber is getting weird. They're also making drivers accept pet rides. Despite if you are scared of animals, allergic, or simple don't want to have to clean animal crap out of your car.
Inworked for uber going on 3 years. Suddenly my background check failed. When i ask why they denied me uber tells me repeatedly contact xyz company. I did and my background check contained the same information it did last year and the year prior. I have now been 'fired' from uber because they wont help me understand why i cant work for them when i did for 2 years. I am a 4.8 star rated driver and only have. 2 4 stars and 1 bad star.... but i live in colorado and no one here is happy with uber....
Guess im a dangerous driver
They need a set per mile dollar amount that drivers get along with 100% of our tips added on. This is gettin ridiculous. How much money do they have to make off of us. I was getting $16 for 29mi and $17 for 32mi offers almost all day today. That’s insane.
I drove for Uber & lyft. I wore out my car. I was lucky I didn't get killed by two fares. I never made money at it after 6000 rides.
Quit now or you'll die, go broke, & now have no working car
It’s tough to make money on Uber in the Nashville market nowadays….it’s super saturated ‼️
Reno is getting this way now too
Yeah I’m at 100% and five star and 0% cancellation. Damn I’m getting all good rides I’m just saying.
Cap 😂
Same here..... Update people keep forgetting that we are independent contractors working on a platform and they can change the rules anytime. Therefore you can just leave if you don't like it stop whining.
What constitutes "all good rides"?
Not picking up crackheads
@@AppRides are meth heads cool how how bout pot heads ?
I get no upfront pricing, I get screwed on a lot of runs. But as usual Lousyana is last for everything. Why can’t everything be available in ALL markets?
They're more obligated to thier shareholders than contractors.
I'm a Driver. Where in the preferences does it allow us to opt out of no tip or very low tip riders? I'll happily click no rides with no tip or tips less than 5... though even 5 is bullshit.
If riders can't afford to tip at least 5 bucks for a mile or two, or 10 for mileage up to 5 miles and 15 to 20 for mileage 10 miles or more - then they CANT AFFORD THE SERVICE.
Uber needs to do a full company review of the standards and policies. Even the CEO thinks it’s expensive among other problems
I’ve never driven for Uber so this is one sided, but I live 40 mins from my airport in Phoenix. I do everything I can to tip high ($20) and preschedule pickups but never fails whoever accepted my ride initially cancels at 3:30 am and I have no way of getting another ride. And I’ll be stuck at the airport for 12-18 ride cancels until someone finally accepts. It’s not a great experience and I’d rather just pay for a taxi.
I started today declining the first 3 I'm a private contractor, I reject what I want any attempt from Uber to punish me for it is an acceptance that I'm their employee.
This is what I believe also

The rideshare gig economy is dead, find new work and let these companies go bankrupt before you lose your jobs all together
I am asking for a large financial compensation because the Uber App screen hung up on me, especially during Busy time hours via Dispatcher, and you also give me the price of the trip, and after reaching the same address and distance, and after completing the trip, the price will be less than the price that I saw on the screen for this trip before accepting it. This has happened to me a lot over the past four years.
They punished me for not taking ride request in a row. I had to download a retina tracker so that it could keep track of me reading their whole EULA once I finished it let me take more rides. I will never miss a ride again!!!😅
How does it work bro??!
Answer you messages bro!
This just happened to me today!!! The trip was from Jim Thorpe,PA to center City Philadelphia! I would not have a problem with that but I was offered $60 to take this man down and back which would take about 2 to 2/12 hours! It went away to "Trip Radar" land and then literally kept appearing on the app seven MORE TIMES! I had never seen this before but maybe once. So I contacted support and they responded that it was going to go against my trip refusal rating!!! IS THIS TRUE?
The only way to combat this is to immediately turn off your acceptance of rides when you accept one, then see what's being offered before you accept before you turn on your acceptance
Once upfront came out, my acceptance went from like 85% to 25% and it's still slowly dropping.
Brother that is why i am being punished for a while now , I am getting shitty trips when the city is rocking with action forcing me to pick from trip radar which in my opinion should be illegal
They just don't think that you are to have a right to decide how and how much to earn.
They’re just making you their slaves, that’s what it is, and it is up to you to accept being slaved on your free will or quit driving for them. It is up to you brothers and sisters to know what you want to be to them.
Thats what happened to me , denying 3$ trip order for almost 2 days, then they send me 84% acceptance rate, and I've spend 1 month driving getting 530 point and didn't reach 91% acceptance rate ...
Trapped between exploitative algorithms and unpredictable traffic, ride-share drivers deserve more than scraping by. They deserve fair compensation that covers costs and ensures a living wage. That's why we need a minimum pay law, anchored in a percentage of fuel costs per mile and a guaranteed minimum hourly rate for unavoidable delays. This isn't about extravagance, it's about basic financial security. Drivers shouldn't have to choose between putting food on the table and running their vehicles into the ground for a pittance. Ride-share giants may turn handsome profits, but not at the expense of driver livelihoods. Every trip should offer the promise of economic sustainability, not crushing debt. This isn't a handout, it's a matter of fairness and stability for the vital transportation industry. Let's protect our drivers, ensure profitability on every ride, and create a system that works for everyone by demanding a minimum pay law with fuel-cost-based compensation and fair delay/wait time fees.
I deny so many rides due to the fact that the pickup location is 10, 15 or even 20 miles away.
The companies should do more for the longer pickups!
That's how they make sure you never climb the ladder,gold, platinum etc. Every month or so when they start the points over, they never start your percentages over, insuring they never have to give you any perks
During the holiday season, I have been receiving some $hitty rides. I accepted a ride not knowing I had to travel 14 miles to take the rider 1.5 miles to a gas station to purchase snacks. I was paid approximately $6.00 and $7.00. There are many rides like this, and it isn't good nor fair for the driver.
Simple trick go offline and back online and you will receive regular trips again play their game and you loose do this and get regular trips I refuse to do trip radar if these new guys would stop jumping on the radars Uber would
Another thing bothering me. The last 2 weeks all the reservations come under the heading Comfort. Does anyone know what they are trying to pull now?
Man it looks like Uber is gonna make it easy for Lyft to take market share. I'm against this because I want to see Lyft get better and more popular on its own merits.
Now you understand why they have 60,000 drivers in most big city markets they’re trying to thin out the drivers that are not willing to work 12 hours well at least the drivers that are not willing to work eight hours. There’s too many drivers they’ll have no problem finding people to work for nothing.
@@AppRides unfortunately True.
If you’re unaware Lyft is doing the same thing as Uber.
Tbh Lyft hasnt been doing well. They never grew out of rideshare. Meanwhile Uber takes on Doordash, GrubHub, they merged with Postmates. Also they are in rival with instacart and shipt. Lyft needs to diversify or they will go bankrupt.
@@johnnyp3839 I agree to a point but for me Lyft is working fine despite their discrimination against part timers.
My acceptance rate is at 20 percent because I do a lot of Uber Eats deliveries and I decline about 80 percent of the food deliveries because the payment is terrible per miles driven. Food deliveries has killed my acceptance rate but I’m not going to accept low paying deliveries.
Personally as a driver I believe it’s done on purpose. Why would you get rides that are 10 minutes or more from you. When you open the passenger app and see there are drivers way closer that could pick up that consumer. And obviously they don’t want the ride. Even though they’re closer to the passenger. But yet you get put in time out. So does that mean the other drivers closest to that passenger are in timeout. Like let’s say when you see four that are closer than you are. Are all five of you in time out. Because that definitely seems like we’re no longer Online. Not to mention as an independent contractor. As they call us. Are being subject to employee rules.
Lift just stole my tip how can I send you guys the prove
I worked for Uber & Lyft for 5 years, and got out before it got worse 2 years ago. It's gone down hill doing 0-60! Their systems must be regulated which means drivers become employees. The entire model is based on profits over people. Drivers and passengers are not safe and raked over the coals.
I was in the airport queue for about 20 minutes, 70+ cars. I got a request going 45 minutes to a dead area. I rejected it. Another long trip to a dead area came up, I rejected that. Then a notice popped up, if you reject the next request you will be placed in the back of the line. Who thinks of this.
Got scammed first month with a 45 miles out of town to get paid 29 dollars. By the time came back my half tank of gas which is 30 dollars have been gone. It is all BS!
The algorithm isn't broken. It runs exactly the way they WANT it to run. It needs to be CHANGED not fixed. They know what they're doing until our whistleblowers 👊🏽 call them out. Thanks guys!
They also need to fix it where they don't send you a ride notifications while you're on a trip
I don’t take trips which are less than $1.00 per gross mile. I’ll be spending lots of time bouncing back and forth from these apps and likely reducing my gross and net income. You full time drivers should look elsewhere because both Lyft and Uber are going to take until they can’t. 60-70% of my ride offers have no driver income (pay), only income for vehicle consumption. The great advantage Uber/Lyft have is there is a pool of millions who try the gig. The pool isn’t endless but will always offer a sizable pool of drivers. It takes a couple of months to learn they are not actually making any income, just cash flow, while they cannibalize their own (asset) vehicle. Once they understand this fact, they leave.
Uber/Lyft wins unless drivers can enjoin a governmental body to engage and help the driver community.
In the Ablany NY my acceptance rate is 10% and as a result I make less Then min Wage so are politicians must be on the take?
Your AR has nothing to do with it
Why in UberX you cannot see the location of pick up and drop off it does not tell you the specific details
This happens or happened to doordashers. After about 5 to 10 declines, doordash will pause the app and you have 36 minutes to resume your driving. So as a Dasher this is nothing new. I haven't experience this yet as an Uber eats delivery driver.
