Rider paid $47.00, driver got $15.00 not including expenses? Ripping people off. They take over the taxi business and rip off the drivers? Very disturbing.
Learn to make a sentence. What you wrote was hard to read ..Drivers have more costs and risks so they should get more pay.The app companies hide the money from drivers which is immoral
A rider recently told me, "Pretty cool you're getting 70%!" Rider paid $10+, my fare $3.22 I explained it's 70% after external Fees 45-50% haircut in California, then 70/30 The rider didn't know that part
This doesn't make any sense. The whole appeal of gig work is that you can work when you want whenever you want. Demanding to be treated like a salaried employee goes against this. How convenient it is for this to happen when there is a bill they're trying to pass next month regarding gig work. This seems all too fabricated to strip down the freedom of gig work so the government can get its fair share.
The percentage doesn’t matter if they’re not charging correctly the companies have to add time and distance which they no longer do and even when they did it was too low now it’s even lower
This is a disgrace to America that they’re paying us drivers below minimum wage, and the only issue is that nobody cares because nobody doesn’t wanna pay more right will get mad at the company because they’re taking everything.
As a Lyft, Uber, DoorDash driver, I’ve notice over the years the pay has gotten low and lower… I could easily do 300 a day in like a 8-9 hour shift… now I can hardly even do 100 a day and it’s taking me literally hours just to do a 100 a day… it’s to the point where I’m just ready to go back to work and I love doing this because I work on my own time and set my own schedule but this is just getting ridiculous
No I'm experiencing the same thing! You are 💯 % right all day barley $100 low ball orders . $4 for a 40min drive is actual disrespectful and unrealistic to be honest it's hard I tell you even hard to get your ap rate up cause the low ball orders lol crazy mob!
If they paid 70%, everybody would jump on that bandwagon! Giving people rides is a dangerous job, some people have gotten killed because of bad customers! What these drivers are asking for is not unreasonable, if you value the people that help to keep your business in existence. Show them some love!
The biggest complaint is that they are taking 70% of our fares they overcharge the passangers and pay pennies to drivers. We went from making $300 and $400 a day to making now $100 and $150 a day without expenses. The new CEOs aggressively cut our promotions and pay more then 5 times in less then 5 years and continues to do things to harm drivers every year and their incomes every by giving now our passangers to yellow taxis and to self driving cars. Now they are scamming us charging us 20k a year on commercial insurance fees when this policies only cost between 3k to 6k a year. They don't provide us with a car and not benefits and want to make more money then us drivers who are putting out cars and covering all the expenses of this company including their taxes every year which is very abusive they should be taking 10% to 20% of our fares and have raise their percentage year by year to now 70% taking away all the money from drivers and passangers.
Lyft says they give us 70% of what the passenger pays, AFTER external fees. The fees are made up. They say it mostly covers commercial insurance. However, there is no transparency of those fees. We wind up getting around 50% or less of the fare.
For riders who are not aware, although Lyft and Uber fares are still high. They are taking up to 55-60 percent of fares. For instance, you might pay a surge fare of $90.00, but the driver will get around $30, and $60 goes to Uber and Lyft. They also trick desperate drivers by renting them cars, basically forcing them to slave rates to make the weekly payment on their car rental.
Lyft won't give me my 2023 tax summary unless I agree to their terms to not sue or receive money from a class action lawsuit. Also, they are taking 70% of the fares because of their" external fees". These fees require us to pay for their business expenses and promotions. We have our own external fees to do this job which is why we need to make $25.00 an hour like we used too. Now we are making negative amounts of money because of our expenses and them taking 70%. It's not like we can bill them our external fees for our business, but they can charge us for theirs...we are not self employed obviously We are volunteers at this point. They don't care.
As an Uber, Lyft driver for the past six years definitely the pay was better back then, but more than just wages need to be addressed like safety and also there needs to be a public announcement about the way. These customers treat our cars treat us and don’t tip this needs to be addressed. As well
the fare should be 2 dollars a mile from the restaurant, this would make tipping optional, the way it is now it is required. Will they lose business from non tippers? sure but this would make it overall more solid for the customers and drivers alike. Every order would be doable, every customer would get their food as fast as everyone else. Ordering something 15 miles away and trying to pay the driver 3 dollars should not even be possible.
It seems they should be striking over crimes. In Chicago, we had 3 drivers killed in ONE month. The PD just caught one crew that killed a driver. Please UBER & Lyft - talk about the robberies and shootings. They should drive a cab. From research, cabbies make more money than Uber/Lyft.

Uber is to make some money in your spare time . It's not supposed to be a full time job. Uber needs to require ID to use ... that takes care of the crime
They're a minority of drivers who are trying to have their cake and eat it too. They want to remain independent contractors but with all the benefits reserved for actual employees. Terminate their accounts and let them find another way to put food on the table.
Door trash is also pitiful now on the pay. It was $5.50 base pay years ago when I started. Now it's $2 base pay and tons of people not tipping. So if it doesn't at least say $6 or more I don't even look at it.
technically your customers are your boss when self employed and the best way to send a message to rideshare companies is on Valentine's Day, when the customers will feel it too.
I started doordash in 2020, I was making great money daily at 18 but it declined drastically, you could pay the company $30 and I'd only get a base pay of $2 + a $5 tip for 10 miles when i'm the one doing to work. They could up the base pay to a minimum $5 and require a tip of no less than $3-5 but also make it depend on the mileage cause remeber, we pay for our gas/tires/wipers+all wear and tear & we deal with all danger from the public
In Fayetteville nc uber and lyft charges 😑 the passengers expenses and they pay low to the drivers uber charge me $42.65 for 12 minutes aproxima,4.6 miles and im asking why uber charges to much and the drivers responde I don't really know but end the trip the uber driver show me how much uber paid for the driver is ridiculous $4.65 that the driver received
7 years ago i could drive 8 hours make about 250 avg. Spend about 40 in gas and drive about 180 miles total. Yesterday I drove 10.5 hours made $350 put almost 400 miles on my vehicle and used up a full tank of gas. Today it's going to cost me $80 to refuel. My car needs an oil change $120 full synthetic will probably work because can't afford these expenses on the 46% current take home rate after company takes 24% right off the top then another 30% off of the remaining $76 of the fare. Thats not even close to drivers earning 70%. In the LA market airport rides from lax seem to be the only fares that are being paid out at a normal 70% to drivers pay scale. All other rides are coming in around 30% to drivers. For example a ride from lax going 35 miles might pay $45 but a ride from the same drop off area back to lax is pricing in at $20 to $25. But lyft is still charging 3x more on those rides to passengers. Easy way to fix this is a fixed driver pay rate 1.50 per mile and .25 cents a minute. Based on whatever information the passenger puts in for pick up and drop off locations. You won't need surge pricing and on the lyft passenger side they then can charge them whatever rate tbey want. If a ride is 10 miles and with LA traffic could take up to an hour. Estimate $15 for time and $15 for miles. Total for driver $30 and lyft or uber can charge passengers 100 drivers won't care. But that same trip under the current rate of pay is about $13 and passengers are being charged about $40 that same ride with no traffic would take 20 minutes and a driver would make about $20 and lyft again could charge whatever rate they want to appease their bottom line and drivers would pick up the passengers in shorter waiting times because all rides would be profitable for drivers and they wouldn't pass up on the current underpaid rides that are currently being offered under the rideshare algorithms.
Uber - $650 million profit, $1.7 billion to stockholders. Not a company really, an investment tool by a group of investment firms, using a 3rd party customer service diversion to issues. Will not be transparent on tips, especially pre-tips. Tips customer thinks is going to driver may not be reaching driver. Acceptance Rate. A clever extortion tactic to intimidate drivers to accept low offers, often at a cost to the driver to accept. Acceptance Rate serves no other purpose except to punish drivers for not taking at cost offers.
Swear going through that now you could have not explained that more perfectly! Its the mob like you said it extortion!.$2 $3 $4 for 20mins 38 40mins really unrealistic orders my acceptance rate being low for weeks and been trying to get it up but it's so hard you get up then they flood you for hours with $2 orders or jus low or shit or nun at all.. sick
Corporate staff and employees running a plantation-style business model where the drivers do all the work and get MUCH MUCH less of the pay. The apps deserve a FINDER'S FEE, that's it. They are charging $90 to riders and giving the driver $28 of it. That's ridiculous! Drivers can't pay rent and fix their car at the same time, in many cities. It forces drivers to rent a car, which eats into the driver profit margins even further. STAND UP! We the 300!
@williamerazo3921 You mean insurance with a $2,500 deductible that nobody has just laying around in a sock drawer...and the Insurance is THREE TIMES more expensive than getting our own commercial insurance. Many drivers have their own commercial insurance and the apps STILL charge insurance rates on each fare. That's double-billing for insurance that's already covering the driver...at a high rate with higher deductibles! Rip off. Pay the drivers the insurance portion and let the drivers buy their own insurance. The drivers will be making more money and paying less for better coverage.
First won’t work only couple hundreds will strike while the other millions off drivers will still drive the ones who are complaining are the ones who wanna make 50 dollars to drive you less than 10 miles lol😂😂😂
The ones who drive 10 miles for $50 are the ones who learned basic math ! Sorry. They finally figured out how much it actually costs to operate a vehicle with a passenger in the back seat. Taxis are still in business for a reason. They know how much it costs to operate a vehicle. But yet ,…… these rideshare companies prey upon immigrants , immigrants that bought illegal accounts with Uber and Lyft and banking on these desperados to make slave wages and be happy with that. Simple plantation mindset. Why pay more ? When you can just get more immigrants willing for drive someone on a 100 mile trip for $25 when it costs you $15 in fuel alone. Dont be here as a corporate shill
They should not be allowed no more than 10% of the fair fee. because only thing they have is the platform the driver responsible for everything else. Also, they should not be able to deactivate you unless they have actual video camera what took place?
The rate per hour being quoted is wrong, it’s not $30. Uber and Lyft is calculating time from pickup to drop off. Yesterday I made $111 over 12 trips, 200 miles. Uber says I drove 4 hr 29 m or $24 an hour but I worked 8 hours or $13 an hour. IN addition cost per mile is .65, actual fare per mile only covered .55. A fair an honest rate should be 1.25 a mile, which would have paid me $250 or $31 for 8 hours. I am striking in Greenville, Spartenbarg and Anderson market.
Luckily my home is paid off and I have no Debt. I can’t imagine people driving rideshare and having actual bills to pay. The depression alone will be the end of you🙏🙏
Greed is always the money trail. Uber is great service and it’s unfortunate that the company has disparaged their workers to unfair percentage increases “that is” for themselves wake up Uber.
for anyone that thinks rideshare drivers are employed these companies. Rideshare drivers are contracted by logistical technology companies. being a contractor means filling out a 1099 tax form. What is the 1099 form for? A 1099 form shows non-employment income, such as income earned by freelancers and independent contractors. On the other hand, a W-2 shows the annual wages or employment income that a taxpayer earned from a particular employer during the tax year. keep in mind, drivers expenses are... Fuel Tires Engine maintenance Rideshare insurance coverage (Extra Cost) Car Wash Exterior/Interior Risk during each contract offered by rideshare companies Violent rider Vomiting Exterior/Interior repairs insurance fraud Defamation Drivers aren't doing this because they feel like it, otherwise these rideshare companies will continue to abuse them all!
tomorrow is our day ... Lyft and Uber can Provide their own vehicle and App to give ride .. shame on these corrupt Ceo's ..Austin TX here we will give some love to uber and Lyft tomorrow for sure
All major cities (*i.e., L.A., .S.F., Chicago, D.C., Philadelphia, etc.) Need $10 minimum fare during peak hours (*that exceed 15-20 min. Including pickup (*0630-0930, 1500-1900) + weekends plus $5 minimum fare on any ride
it s right i have a firend he bought a brand new car to drive with uber.after few weeks being deactivated for no reason.he kept calling but in vain. Now the pay is very low .cutomer paid more and the driver is taking is little of that portion
last thing I want is the govt. to get it's greedy hands involved, as u can see from NYC and other states that have let the govt involved it's made things worst for those drivers.
Passenger are not protected nor Driver's from this Greedy companies..we have to put a Stop to this or they will continue, they only care about their Profits, investors only care about how much more money they can make too..
The market is saturated with drivers so no need to pay drivers a portion of surge price as long as there are plenty of drivers on the road. Buy Uber stock!!!! They are killing it!!!
In California delivery drivers love. The garbages pay from Uber. Ceo. National wide drives. Should. Stop. A list 3 day. Uber will lose a lot money. Do it. Everyone turn off the apps.
Do you have any idea how much more expensive Uber would be if they paid a living wage. You might as well just call the cab company for a ride costs just as much
Cab still more expensive lol, or you think that meter disappeared just like magic😂😂 or if you are comfortable to wait for a cab 35 or 40 minutes to show up to the front of your door good luck with that.
Here, let me help. As a passenger, you pay Uber $10 for a ride. The driver of that ride gets about $3-$4. and some change if they are lucky. The REST goes to Uber for "fees" that Uber continues to manufacture out of thin air. Things like "app maintenance" are paid by the driver in the reduced compensation. No one asked for a "living wage" just that the bulk of the money goes to the driver actually doing the work instead of the executive sitting in an office. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@joelhernandez8679the meter are there for a reason they measure time and distance Uber and Lyft actually did make the meter disappear out of thin air now they have upfront fairs which measure only how profitable the trip is for the company while the drivers are left with just enough to pay for gas passengers can feel like they are being ripped off but it cost a lot of money to keep a car running plus the driver has to make a living
Fr what about the liabilty your forced to incur as a driver, not like a cab driver thats not using their own car, and the rentals are $400- -595 a week with insurance, how are you supposed to make money if you have to constantly replace tires from potgokes, or if a rider breaks your car, by accident or on purpose, its on you, uber does not help or compensate lost eages due to have to have your vehicle in the shop, and further more, if your under investigation and your account is blocked for a week but restored because they find you did nothing wrong, thats just a week of lost wages, it is hard af to make anything worth while, tbh i just do it to rent a car until i can get another one Would be cool too if they helped ppl creat an llc so they can buy a car om a buisness loan, but again all on the driver and what they can afford
USE YOUR CAR FOR BETTER JOB ALOT OF DRIVERS NOT TELL THE INSURANCE COMPANY YIU DOING DOING RIDESHARE WORK . LOTS OF DRIVERS NOT HELP WITH LUGGAGE AND WANT MORE MONEY. IVE SEEN OLD PPL HAVING DIFFICULTY LIFTING LUGGAGE DRIVERS AND GET OUT TO HELP .
Who will help with luggage when they paying the driver $3 to take you to the airport ? Honestly would you ? For what ? To be nice ? Nope. No one is driving for charity work
What will happen the day after the protest? They will continue to use the same apps they’re griping about. Meanwhile, the newbie driver will capitalize from the increased demands, and look at it as the “best thing since sliced bread”. That’s the reality of gig work. It’s okay to formulate the same group that’s protesting and create your own ride sharing app. Is that not an option?
That is only an option if you have billions to invest and I think the point is to bring attention to it he issues and give these companies bad publicity which they deserve their stocks are at an all time high meanwhile the drivers are making less if you did ride share you will understand how low the pay is
there’s 6 million drivers maybe less drivers maybe more pay for other drivers to many drivers so I’m gonna go on a picket line and I make $2000 a week. How much are we supposed to get paid each market is different you should go to your local legislator and you can’t work for $.61 a mile you should’ve been boycotting from day one if you were getting paid $.61 a mile you should’ve never signed up for the platform we get $1.38 a mile too many drivers they’ll be plenty of drivers to pick people up people work for peanuts
Tired of hearing you drivers complaining of Uber and lyft you clearly not complaining when the company over charge customers you already know what they do LEAVE THE COMPANY THEN STIKE TO HURT CUSTOMERS.
It's absolutely pointless for anyone to do this because it's a very, very small number of people doing this while most drivers are still gonna continue to work for literally NOTHING and they love that crap so yeah,good luck with that because as long as they keep working then it's not gonna affect Uber or door dash and like oh dude said,all they gotta do is deactivate you for no reason just because they want to and then you don't have that app and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it and good luck getting back on. I stopped doing all these apps awhile back after running them for years and people,you aren't making money yet you're just working for free and tearing up your car which most people deliver with the 1 and only car they've. Smh, it's all set up to make them greedy bastards all the money and nothing for the hard working folks that make it even possible to begin with so STOP working for these stupid apps and go start your own business, TH-cam channel or go try to find a way better paying job, OH WAIT!!! My bad I forgot for a second that we live in corrupt ass America where greedy corporations only care about money and profit and where there are LITERALLY so many new homeless people and families forced to live on the streets and nobody cares until eventually it will all collapse and them VERY own people that did this become homeless themselves and it's COMING SOON!! You don't wanna be anyone left when shit hits the fan that does have money because at that point, you're the target for EVERYONE and people just won't care anymore therefore your little money and bank accounts will mean literally NOTHING!!!! If people can earn it and earn an honest living then they'll straight up TAKE IT BY FORCE and people will do anything to survive,think I'm joking and especially when they've kids and families to feed, they're all homeless and can't make any money while freezing outside or burning up,UHHHH HELL NAH AND JUST WATCH!!!!
A strike isn’t pointless. It is never pointless. Just because you didn’t get every single driver on planet earth to strike. Doesn’t make it pointless. You saw the newcast right ? You saw cnn , nbc news , Reuters , news nation , Disney blogs , multiple other media pick up the story and report it. ,……. Yet you said it was pointless ,? The point was given. Loud and clear. And strikes will happen over and over again. Until change happens
It's 70% of the left over cost AFTER deducting 34% (approximate) of what customer originally pays for. That is NOT 70 Percent... lol... which "generally" comes out to about 43-48% of the Total Fare a customer would pay; WITHOUT any consideration for Pick Up and Driving Time for the drivers.
Lol most rides I do a taxi would NEVER DO. I drive many rides that are 15 min. Most taxis can take an hour or more to get if u live in the suburbs. Thousands will be late for work if they had to rely on cabs. 😊
Rider paid $47.00, driver got $15.00 not including expenses? Ripping people off. They take over the taxi business and rip off the drivers? Very disturbing.

There should be a nationwide investigation! That settlement in NY should be 20xs more and distributed to drivers all over the US!!
My Lyft app is off for 24!hours
In Fayetteville nc uber and lyft charges 😑 the passengers expenses and they pay low to the drivers uber charge me $42.65 for 12 minutes aproxima,4.6 miles and im asking why uber charges to much and the drivers responde I don't really know but end the trip the uber driver show me how much uber paid for the driver is ridiculous $4.65 that the driver received
You won 1st place in the Race to the Bottom
7 years ago i could drive 8 hours make about 250 avg. Spend about 40 in gas and drive about 180 miles total. Yesterday I drove 10.5 hours made $350 put almost 400 miles on my vehicle and used up a full tank of gas. Today it's going to cost me $80 to refuel. My car needs an oil change $120 full synthetic will probably work because can't afford these expenses on the 46% current take home rate after company takes 24% right off the top then another 30% off of the remaining $76 of the fare. Thats not even close to drivers earning 70%. In the LA market airport rides from lax seem to be the only fares that are being paid out at a normal 70% to drivers pay scale. All other rides are coming in around 30% to drivers. For example a ride from lax going 35 miles might pay $45 but a ride from the same drop off area back to lax is pricing in at $20 to $25. But lyft is still charging 3x more on those rides to passengers. Easy way to fix this is a fixed driver pay rate 1.50 per mile and .25 cents a minute. Based on whatever information the passenger puts in for pick up and drop off locations. You won't need surge pricing and on the lyft passenger side they then can charge them whatever rate tbey want. If a ride is 10 miles and with LA traffic could take up to an hour. Estimate $15 for time and $15 for miles. Total for driver $30 and lyft or uber can charge passengers 100 drivers won't care. But that same trip under the current rate of pay is about $13 and passengers are being charged about $40 that same ride with no traffic would take 20 minutes and a driver would make about $20 and lyft again could charge whatever rate they want to appease their bottom line and drivers would pick up the passengers in shorter waiting times because all rides would be profitable for drivers and they wouldn't pass up on the current underpaid rides that are currently being offered under the rideshare algorithms.
Uber - $650 million profit, $1.7 billion to stockholders. Not a company really, an investment tool by a group of investment firms, using a 3rd party customer service diversion to issues.
Will not be transparent on tips, especially pre-tips. Tips customer thinks is going to driver may not be reaching driver.
Acceptance Rate. A clever extortion tactic to intimidate drivers to accept low offers, often at a cost to the driver to accept. Acceptance Rate serves no other purpose except to punish drivers for not taking at cost offers.
Swear going through that now you could have not explained that more perfectly! Its the mob like you said it extortion!.$2 $3 $4 for 20mins 38 40mins really unrealistic orders my acceptance rate being low for weeks and been trying to get it up but it's so hard you get up then they flood you for hours with $2 orders or jus low or shit or nun at all.. sick
The strike won't have alot of affect on their bottom line unless it goes on for a month or 2.
Corporate staff and employees running a plantation-style business model where the drivers do all the work and get MUCH MUCH less of the pay. The apps deserve a FINDER'S FEE, that's it. They are charging $90 to riders and giving the driver $28 of it. That's ridiculous! Drivers can't pay rent and fix their car at the same time, in many cities. It forces drivers to rent a car, which eats into the driver profit margins even further. STAND UP! We the 300!
Yup Finders Fee, app marketing and services and commercial insurance that’s all
@williamerazo3921 You mean insurance with a $2,500 deductible that nobody has just laying around in a sock drawer...and the Insurance is THREE TIMES more expensive than getting our own commercial insurance. Many drivers have their own commercial insurance and the apps STILL charge insurance rates on each fare. That's double-billing for insurance that's already covering the driver...at a high rate with higher deductibles! Rip off. Pay the drivers the insurance portion and let the drivers buy their own insurance. The drivers will be making more money and paying less for better coverage.
Complete rip off. Insane how they us hard-working drivers.
First won’t work only couple hundreds will strike while the other millions off drivers will still drive the ones who are complaining are the ones who wanna make 50 dollars to drive you less than 10 miles lol😂😂😂
So millions of drivers justify driving 50 miles trip for $10 instead ?
Sorry. Fair is fair. $0.40 a mile isn’t it !!!!!!!!
The ones who drive 10 miles for $50 are the ones who learned basic math ! Sorry. They finally figured out how much it actually costs to operate a vehicle with a passenger in the back seat. Taxis are still in business for a reason. They know how much it costs to operate a vehicle. But yet ,…… these rideshare companies prey upon immigrants , immigrants that bought illegal accounts with Uber and Lyft and banking on these desperados to make slave wages and be happy with that. Simple plantation mindset. Why pay more ? When you can just get more immigrants willing for drive someone on a 100 mile trip for $25 when it costs you $15 in fuel alone. Dont be here as a corporate shill
I’m selling my Uber stock
Sell it, within 1 year uber will lose all drivers.
They should not be allowed no more than 10% of the fair fee. because only thing they have is the platform the driver responsible for everything else. Also, they should not be able to deactivate you unless they have actual video camera what took place?
The rate per hour being quoted is wrong, it’s not $30. Uber and Lyft is calculating time from pickup to drop off. Yesterday I made $111 over 12 trips, 200 miles. Uber says I drove 4 hr 29 m or $24 an hour but I worked 8 hours or $13 an hour. IN addition cost per mile is .65, actual fare per mile only covered .55. A fair an honest rate should be 1.25 a mile, which would have paid me $250 or $31 for 8 hours. I am striking in Greenville, Spartenbarg and Anderson market.
Modern slavery!
We are humans not slaves
I stand with the drivers! Do your thang!
Luckily my home is paid off and I have no Debt. I can’t imagine people driving rideshare and having actual bills to pay. The depression alone will be the end of you🙏🙏
I drove 80-100 hours multiple platforms couldn't pay rent or afford the car payments, everything was spent on gas food and supplies...
Mann I feel you same.. it's sick man!
Support workers always
This is a huge reason why prices have dropped
Los Angeles as well
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🙏
Here is the Lyft 70% breakdown
Passenger pays $20
Lyft (“external fee” -$5
Lyft ( commission) -$5
Driver gets $10
That’s 50% not 70%. Easy math here.
Including me,I will not work,uber and Lyft are taking bigger %%%%’customer pay good and we are not making less then minimum wedges
Drivers used to get a fair share and passengers payed less
Its corporate taking more than halfe.
I have been doing uber with my tesla its been great
Only part timers will be driving because we know Uber isn’t a real job
Greed is always the money trail. Uber is great service and it’s unfortunate that the company has disparaged their workers to unfair percentage increases “that is” for themselves wake up Uber.
Gas is $3.25 here in Delaware. Time to leave those expensive states.
for anyone that thinks rideshare drivers are employed these companies.
Rideshare drivers are contracted by logistical technology companies.
being a contractor means filling out a 1099 tax form.
What is the 1099 form for?
A 1099 form shows non-employment income, such as income earned by freelancers
and independent contractors.
On the other hand, a W-2 shows the annual wages or employment income that a taxpayer earned from
a particular employer during the tax year.
keep in mind, drivers expenses are...
Fuel
Tires
Engine maintenance
Rideshare insurance coverage (Extra Cost)
Car Wash Exterior/Interior
Risk during each contract offered by rideshare companies
Violent rider
Vomiting
Exterior/Interior repairs
insurance fraud
Defamation
Drivers aren't doing this because they feel like it, otherwise these rideshare companies will continue to abuse them all!
All of the platforms work together
tomorrow is our day ... Lyft and Uber can Provide their own vehicle and App to give ride .. shame on these corrupt Ceo's ..Austin TX here we will give some love to uber and Lyft tomorrow for sure
All major cities (*i.e., L.A., .S.F., Chicago, D.C., Philadelphia, etc.) Need $10 minimum fare during peak hours (*that exceed 15-20 min. Including pickup (*0630-0930, 1500-1900) + weekends plus $5 minimum fare on any ride
it s right i have a firend he bought a brand new car to drive with uber.after few weeks being deactivated for no reason.he kept calling but in vain. Now the pay is very low .cutomer paid more and the driver is taking is little of that portion
San Francis also
Dont expect rides in Boston too. Take T .
last thing I want is the govt. to get it's greedy hands involved, as u can see from NYC and other states that have let the govt involved it's made things worst for those drivers.
I hope NYC bans Uber & Lyft from Manhattan. It would be a great move forward in reducing congestion.
Passenger are not protected nor Driver's from this Greedy companies..we have to put a Stop to this or they will continue, they only care about their Profits, investors only care about how much more money they can make too..
What do you expect from a non regulated internet business?
You aren't even employees, so you aren't entitled to more. All you did today was turn riders against your cause. Dumb.
Some drivers don’t like it go get a different job nobody is forcing you to drive!
Take matters i your own hands... Zanza Bee
The market is saturated with drivers so no need to pay drivers a portion of surge price as long as there are plenty of drivers on the road. Buy Uber stock!!!! They are killing it!!!
Just bring our weekly bonuses back, instead of it being a lottery type thing!
In California delivery drivers love. The garbages pay from Uber. Ceo. National wide drives. Should. Stop. A list 3 day. Uber will lose a lot money. Do it. Everyone turn off the apps.
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Do you have any idea how much more expensive Uber would be if they paid a living wage. You might as well just call the cab company for a ride costs just as much
Cab still more expensive lol, or you think that meter disappeared just like magic😂😂 or if you are comfortable to wait for a cab 35 or 40 minutes to show up to the front of your door good luck with that.
Here, let me help. As a passenger, you pay Uber $10 for a ride. The driver of that ride gets about $3-$4. and some change if they are lucky. The REST goes to Uber for "fees" that Uber continues to manufacture out of thin air. Things like "app maintenance" are paid by the driver in the reduced compensation. No one asked for a "living wage" just that the bulk of the money goes to the driver actually doing the work instead of the executive sitting in an office. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@joelhernandez8679the meter are there for a reason they measure time and distance Uber and Lyft actually did make the meter disappear out of thin air now they have upfront fairs which measure only how profitable the trip is for the company while the drivers are left with just enough to pay for gas passengers can feel like they are being ripped off but it cost a lot of money to keep a car running plus the driver has to make a living
Shut them down
Fr what about the liabilty your forced to incur as a driver, not like a cab driver thats not using their own car, and the rentals are $400- -595 a week with insurance, how are you supposed to make money if you have to constantly replace tires from potgokes, or if a rider breaks your car, by accident or on purpose, its on you, uber does not help or compensate lost eages due to have to have your vehicle in the shop, and further more, if your under investigation and your account is blocked for a week but restored because they find you did nothing wrong, thats just a week of lost wages, it is hard af to make anything worth while, tbh i just do it to rent a car until i can get another one
Would be cool too if they helped ppl creat an llc so they can buy a car om a buisness loan, but again all on the driver and what they can afford
start your own service ... Zanza bee
And New york

USE YOUR CAR FOR BETTER JOB ALOT OF DRIVERS NOT TELL THE INSURANCE COMPANY YIU DOING DOING RIDESHARE WORK .
LOTS OF DRIVERS NOT HELP WITH LUGGAGE AND WANT MORE MONEY. IVE SEEN OLD PPL HAVING DIFFICULTY LIFTING LUGGAGE DRIVERS AND GET OUT TO HELP .
Who will help with luggage when they paying the driver $3 to take you to the airport ? Honestly would you ? For what ? To be nice ? Nope. No one is driving for charity work
@nickhummer5775 tell me something why be apart of a company that over charge customers $100 for $25 cab ride . Lots of times I heard this for events
What will happen the day after the protest? They will continue to use the same apps they’re griping about. Meanwhile, the newbie driver will capitalize from the increased demands, and look at it as the “best thing since sliced bread”. That’s the reality of gig work.
It’s okay to formulate the same group that’s protesting and create your own ride sharing app. Is that not an option?
There is an Alternative. It's Called Wridz. Drivers keep 100% of the Fare. Drivers pay a subscription fee.
That is only an option if you have billions to invest and I think the point is to bring attention to it he issues and give these companies bad publicity which they deserve their stocks are at an all time high meanwhile the drivers are making less if you did ride share you will understand how low the pay is
there’s 6 million drivers maybe less drivers maybe more pay for other drivers to many drivers so I’m gonna go on a picket line and I make $2000 a week. How much are we supposed to get paid each market is different you should go to your local legislator and you can’t work for $.61 a mile you should’ve been boycotting from day one if you were getting paid $.61 a mile you should’ve never signed up for the platform we get $1.38 a mile too many drivers they’ll be plenty of drivers to pick people up people work for peanuts

Tired of hearing you drivers complaining of Uber and lyft you clearly not complaining when the company over charge customers you already know what they do LEAVE THE COMPANY THEN STIKE TO HURT CUSTOMERS.
It's absolutely pointless for anyone to do this because it's a very, very small number of people doing this while most drivers are still gonna continue to work for literally NOTHING and they love that crap so yeah,good luck with that because as long as they keep working then it's not gonna affect Uber or door dash and like oh dude said,all they gotta do is deactivate you for no reason just because they want to and then you don't have that app and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it and good luck getting back on. I stopped doing all these apps awhile back after running them for years and people,you aren't making money yet you're just working for free and tearing up your car which most people deliver with the 1 and only car they've. Smh, it's all set up to make them greedy bastards all the money and nothing for the hard working folks that make it even possible to begin with so STOP working for these stupid apps and go start your own business, TH-cam channel or go try to find a way better paying job, OH WAIT!!! My bad I forgot for a second that we live in corrupt ass America where greedy corporations only care about money and profit and where there are LITERALLY so many new homeless people and families forced to live on the streets and nobody cares until eventually it will all collapse and them VERY own people that did this become homeless themselves and it's COMING SOON!! You don't wanna be anyone left when shit hits the fan that does have money because at that point, you're the target for EVERYONE and people just won't care anymore therefore your little money and bank accounts will mean literally NOTHING!!!! If people can earn it and earn an honest living then they'll straight up TAKE IT BY FORCE and people will do anything to survive,think I'm joking and especially when they've kids and families to feed, they're all homeless and can't make any money while freezing outside or burning up,UHHHH HELL NAH AND JUST WATCH!!!!
A strike isn’t pointless. It is never pointless. Just because you didn’t get every single driver on planet earth to strike. Doesn’t make it pointless. You saw the newcast right ? You saw cnn , nbc news , Reuters , news nation , Disney blogs , multiple other media pick up the story and report it. ,……. Yet you said it was pointless ,? The point was given.
Loud and clear. And strikes will happen over and over again. Until change happens
Also california is joining the strike
Los Ángeles too
It's 70% of the left over cost AFTER deducting 34% (approximate) of what customer originally pays for. That is NOT 70 Percent... lol... which "generally" comes out to about 43-48% of the Total Fare a customer would pay; WITHOUT any consideration for Pick Up and Driving Time for the drivers.
RECORD PROFITS FIGHT THE MAN!!!!!!
What are they complaining about? They broke the taxi unions so they get what they deserve NOTHING 😅😅😅😅😅
Lol most rides I do a taxi would NEVER DO. I drive many rides that are 15 min. Most taxis can take an hour or more to get if u live in the suburbs. Thousands will be late for work if they had to rely on cabs. 😊
Plus, most Taxis will not drive through unsafe neighborhoods either.
Fight club should never talk about fight club there deactivating you because you’re taking cash
