Great story but another story why can’t you break down each market by market and figure out why some of the markets are paying stupid money like a dollar a mile and $1.38 a mile on XL so why can’t those markets be the same everywhere what does it have to be so different and piss other drivers off and why are there so many drivers and everybody wants to do a brand new dance you can’t get mad at anybody that wants to get on the Uber platform if they’re making funny money or Lyft which I don’t do Lyft so I can’t talk about Lyft but I can’t talk about Uber as you will know I work from home now let’s talk about drivers that work from home making $2000 a week. Yes they exist. Let’s find them and tell their story there’s thousands of them but we’re under the radar because we don’t really want people to know what we make because they always get pissed off because other drivers are not getting paid properly so if Uber can pay us that kind of money, why can’t they pay everybody else exactly the same because there’s too many drivers that’s the big headlines get rid of some of the drivers just like to do in New York. Everybody can’t get on Uber and Lyft in New York as a waiting list what happened with having a waiting list? I don’t know you tell me and why does the professor always block people that has an opinion other than his, yeah Mr. Toreson you always block people that have another opinion if you don’t agree with him you don’t agree at all but you have a good one. Great story keep up the good work fight the big fight it was $.61 a mile that you guys have been getting paid is ridiculous, thanks a lot. Hope this comment stays up I’m just saying.
Torsten just brought a great point.
I could tell you about but I'll spare. Let's just say I had a rider who wanted to give me a $25 tip.
When he went into the app to do so, Uber told him he could only pay me $20 because the trip was to short. What balls!
I tried to tip a driver $100 during Christmas and it wouldn't allow me to tip that much. That's absolutely terrible that they restrict the amount.
I'm ready for an ongoing weekly show with Sergio and Torsten. The top driver advocates together. When either of them talk, drivers listen. 💪 👍
Can't wait for the protest I'm all in. Over 200 driver's that I know in Pittsburgh and we are UNITED on the 2/14/24 ❤
Well it’s only a few states and I don’t see mine on there so I don’t feel all states are doing it
@@Sweetlove322 you must not be watching the news or keeping up with the videos. It's a WORLDWIDE PROTEST
If these companies expect us to pick up a passenger at point a and drop them off at point B while having a clean safe comfortable car for three dollars the education to the passenger should be to take public transit. I don't know any location in the United States a cab will pick someone up and drop them off even just down the street for three dollars.
Exactly
It should be no less then a $20 dollar
for a 10- 15 minute ride or less, other wise take the bus or train, it's not profitable..
No Brasil , está ocorrendo o mesmo , valores muito baixos por corrida , vc usa seu carro para transportar as pessoas e não tem lucro algum , e ainda querem por de 4 a 5 pessoas com paradas nas viagens , Uber é escravista e desumana 😢
This week, in Los Angeles, I have driven 180 miles, 38 trips, 18 hours, 12 online hours. Passengers paid $564 - deductions / CI = $124, taxes = $20, Lyft fees = $149.
Earnings = $274, tips = $37
Total earnings this week =$311.
After expenses, way below minimum wage of Los Angeles.
i did 17 hours and seven minutes last night or Wednesday night $537.14 trips, so how can I be so different in each market unbelievable
Chicago is one of the worst city to do rideshare driving, Chicago is in the news everyday for the violence against rideshare drivers, Uber needs to do much better in protecting the drivers nationwide!!!
I must ask, when the last time any apps on your phone has ever protected you from imminent to immediate danger? Seriously, think about it.
Good Luck...it's bad enough we are NOT offered decent pay...but the idea Lyft/Uber can actually protect drivers is really just lip service...criminals don't after difficult targets, and let's be honest for a moment - Uber/Lyft Drivers are easy targets for criminals...the best way to protect yourself is to get yourself into a position financially where you don't have to drive Uber/Lyft...and if you just love driving & flexibility - just remember the price of that is the lack of safety that Uber/Lyft can provide...
Being a riide share driver will never be 100% safe.
Let’s face it, just about anything can happen anywhere in Chicago-even if you’re not a rideshare driver.
I have a patch on my jacket that reads:
“No One Is Coming.
It’s Up To Us.”
It is unrealistic to expect Uber or the police to protect you if a passenger decides to become violent.
Drivers need to understand they are their own first responders.
You must be an active participant in your own rescue.
Your first line of defense should be your situational awareness. You will win 100% of the fights you never get in. See a problem before it becomes your problem.
Leave yourself an out. Always keep your doors locked. Always have your car positioned for an easy exit.
Always position your car so you can get a good look at who is about to get in your car.
This should be your final screen before unlocking your doors. If anything you see now doesn’t look right or feel right, this will be your final opportunity to leave.
I advocate that everyone should know some form of self defense. Driver or not. It is a good investment in yourself and if nothing else improves self confidence and helps eliminate a victim mindset.
Strongly consider force multipliers. Predators avoid fights they feel they will lose. Predators will do whatever they can to improve their chances of success so you must do the same.
I have seen people be very effective defending themselves with a small, high lumen tactical flashlight (like Streamlight)
They are bright enough to temporarily blind an attacker to give you a few seconds to either escape or to get off the “X” and counterattack from a different position.
Most of these lights have serrated edges that create a good striking surface.
Pepper spray/Bear spray/Wasp spray are also options but have the downside of possibly negatively affecting you.
They will also render your car virtually unusable until you can clean the interior.
Knives, box cutters, ice picks are another good equalizer. Fixed blades are probably best for emergencies.
Obviously, it’s hard to top concealed carry as your last line of defense. Unfortunately, this is not supported by any of the platforms, but if you need to employ deadly force to
prevent a passenger from causing you death or severe bodily harm, being deactivated will be a small price to pay for your life.
Carrying is a huge responsibility and requires training and regular practice to ensure you are an asset, not a liability.
Look up the Active Self Protection channel to see hundreds of examples of good and bad outcomes in this realm.
Never forget your car itself may be your best asset when things go suddenly sideways.
Thug lifers rarely wear seatbelts. You should always have yours on.
It will keep you from being dragged out of the car.
It will also allow you to use your brakes as a devastating weapon. Even at 20-30 mph, you can neutralize 3 attackers quickly doing nothing more than slamming on the brakes. And I mean pedal to the metal.
If some is in the front passenger seat, they are getting a face full of windshield. Back seat passenger’s faces will meet the headrests.
If Uber can do anything to improve our safety it would be to foolproof the passenger data system and be more proactive in assisting law enforcement to make it easier for police to identify and arrest those who try to prey on drivers. Word travels fast in thug land. If people were consistently tracked down and prosecuted, attacks would stop.
Always remember, no one is coming. It’s up to us.
I did a petition on trips. But didn’t present to Parliament I joined and did a speech with TWU Transport Workers Union and members
and today Thursday 8.2.2024 history was made…we Won In Australia! 😇🎉😇
Is there any link where I can file petition?
@@muhammadmalik744 No you make one up with your own same words on each page. Later after work I’ll try and send you what I did. I got a lot of response if a short period of time! It’s Amazing to hear the rider issues as well.
Hi sorry for the delay. The best way because I can’t send you what I did. Google template petition to give you an idea. Using your own words. Good Luck!
No I just Google template petition or how to do a petition
TWO Biggest rideshare advocates. Titans! Gigpreneurs! United we're stronger! Thanks gents!
we appreciate you
THIS WAS A GREAT EPISODE YALL SHOULD DO SHOWS TOGETHER MORE OFTEN
👍
Thank you 🙏
Dara will be having a panic attack watching the pair of you having a good chat.
Totally agree with Sergio in trying to get legislature attention. But that also will take actions on driver actions like collectively agree to support online protest. Also the ones with online platforms like YT, have to consistently talk about it, educate the hesitant folks. This fight has to happen and should involve all drivers. Protest one day a month. 2024 should be the year of change and drivers have to contribute to the effort. Please mention the protest everyday on your platform. Drivers can do this. Drivers do have power but drivers have to believe this. If you get this petition going, this can be a great start. Let’s get this started. If this movement gains momentum, there’s no telling the things that can be accomplished as a unit. Drivers can also influence legislation. This is a movement that needs to get started. Now.
💯💯
It's true they are SCARED, many of change itself! some are afraid we want to only unionize and fight for hourly... it's like um no, we just dont want to be told we're IC's while someone else decides and changes our pay at will and constantly----pay which happens to earn us below the federal min after operating costs----ridiculous. It wasn't like this in the beginning and unions weren't needed. At the same time, others say only unions can guarantee the demands people are requesting. What I say is people need to grow a pair, wake up and realize we don't need a middle man. if we are INDEPENDENT contractors, we can act like such and stand for ourselves and each other in solidarity....as strong, competent, working adults.
Sergio and Torsten are NOT going for the bullshit!
I loved this episode! My two favorite people in one place! Feel like we need to reach out to as much news outlets as we can to get the media out there for the protest and everything that these companies are doing from breaking our independent contractor rights which is California law to all the hard evidence of the shaving, stealing and etcetera that they're doing to the drivers and put them on blast! Also on Valentine's Day I definitely am not going to work but I have my own personal clientele that day so it's a win-win for me 😁 apps on and let it time out!
Thank you 🙏
@@AskTorsten Welcome!
Love Torsten and Sergio!!
❤❤❤Would LOVE to see Brother Jeff from AZ on this CHANNEL ❤️❤❤TOGETHER with THIS MOVEMENT!! Let's KEEP it 💯 REAL!!!!
@@adolphusjefferies1856 Agree! Support thinks I'm a "Jeffery," too, but we're simply driver brother and sister (from different mothers and fathers), trying to get support's attention to real matters about real situations. But since support can't tell us apart, Jeff has my permission to share the support conversation I had with tech support, with Torsten and Chris & Sergio. They would all have fun with that one! It was a "deer in the headlight moment" for me.
One of my biggest concern about the protest, the companies might be manipulating surges on the map in order to lure more drivers to dive in driving. but regardless the app on my phone won't be on.
they will
Sergio/ Chris mentions turn the app on without accepting is to kill the surge
5 million sign petition!!!
Great interview Sergio! I appreciate your efforts along with Torsten and Jeff who are also great advocates for the drivers.
Yup, Jeff is fantastic! The first to do driver diary ride with me
❤❤❤Great JOB Gentlemen!! KEEP up the GREAT work and STAY BLESSED and strong 💪 🙏 ❤in the fight!!
Thank you 🙏
We are at the state of the CEOs accepting how they are screwing us and determined not to do anything about it. Look at what Lyft is normalizing 53% for the driver and they are proud to twist it around and think we are dumb.
I will be going onto local TV next week or so for a Rideshare book I wtote and published 4 years ago. (Again, I met the rider in the car and went onto TV with them on day 14 of 5.5 years) While I am on, I will speak shortly about the Shenanigans of the Rideshare companies and how the drivers are now mentally, physically, emotionally drained, manipulated and treated like slaves in short.
I last drove consistently 3 days ago for almost 4 months straight. Have slept in my car while in Nashville since the summer of 2022. I will try to drop both of your names and channels to get people to you. Best of luck and keep up the fight and speak out on TV whenever you can.
Great information and also to see you Sergio and Torsten together
Thank you 🙏
Great to see Sergio & Torsten united. Thnk u for your support to drivers.
Thank you 🙏
CEOs are def. They only hear what they want. You need to get them audited federally and have charges brought against them for defroudding the drivers and passengers. They should charge the CEOs and those they tell to set up the systems to steal ( shave) from drivers.
The Professor and Sergio are the Dynamic Duo 🙏🚙
thanks
We all support your petition Sergio!!!!!!
Stick to your guns drivers! Don’t accept long rides for less than your decided lowest acceptable amount for ANY ride! Be firm. I did this and saw my numbers go up! Thanks Sergio!!!
You guys are the key players!! We are listening!!!!
Excellent interview...Thumbs up for Sergio and Torsten on this one. Thanks guys...Keep up the extraordinary work. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you 🙏
Your right people are getting smarter in 2024. Take for instance Australian Government 8.2.2024 in the Senate Passed on the Reform 2024 better incentives and benefits for Gig Ride Share Drivers and Eats. Truck Drivers. Through the long Support of the TWU Union . Transport Workers Union. And members…Yeah! 😇😇🎉
Great video with great activist for drivers and a good way to get informed with what b.s. Uber and Lyft are doing to drivers now a days. I what like to see Jeff on the RSG channel someday he has good information to provide as well.
Exacto, I hope to see Jeff on here, too
The Torsten and Sergio Show! Need More!!
It's got a ring to it.
Petition the feds to audit them and charge them for stealing from the drivers and the passengers.
Why the Seattle, NYC model can't work nationwide? This question should be asked to both rideshare CEOs.
This is viral-video material right here. I don't watch a lot of videos in completion (just based on a shortage of time on my end), but this one is worth the full watch.
Thanks
What i find is passengers do have hearts in New Zealand where i live. They often ask what time you working till or are you making money. So Sergio u are right.
In the interview, the interviewer pushed back on the CEO’s average saying that it’s only the active hours they can account for. They don’t know what drivers can make total because they can’t analyze when the drivers are not active. Which is usually close to half the hour these days because of driver over-saturation, Especially during the week.
Great to see both of you on the same screen
FANTASTIC !!!
Thank you 🙏
I appreciate both of you for your efforts. But Looking at the long game I believe that a focus on an official change management process with gig companies that requires a signoff by a duly elected group of driver representatives would be something more worthy of striking for, as opposed to some short term financial gain or assistance because they are constantly changing the rules of the game unilaterally and often with little notice or buy in with the driver community. The companies are constantly throwing things at a wall to see what sticks. Well we need referees to lay down the rules on which walls are allowed
Watching 2 superstars who truly stand up for the drivers.
we appreciate you
Driving 5+ years for both companies, I had this realization recently, I have never seen a CEO (Dara) of a major corporation to turn his back on a key component of the rideshare experience. A lot of drivers made financial decisions based on their history of paying well, keeping the number of drivers at a reasonable level so those of us with 5+ years aren’t struggling, not meeting our financial obligations and maintaining our vehicles so they are safe.
He is an absolute tool for this. Like you say, they have a brand but the actual deliverer of the experience, whether a ride or food, is the independent driver carrying their banner. No, we are not employees, but YES THERE NEEDS TO BE A HARD CAP ON A COMMISSION. A commission is a minute (usually 5% and no more than 10%) of the top line. As CEO he needs to figure out how to run the ops on that budget. And if need be charge the customer a bit more but there would be plenty of money both for the now (under this theory) happier driver who will PROUDLY AND SAFELY do his job... and for the company and its shareholders.
In contrast, the current NIGHTMARE has them literally taking upwards or 75% of the top line for themselves..a never ending game of AI, machine learning, algorithms to take every last penny they can..getting the customer-driver match accomplished whilst taking as much of the fare as they possibly can while still having that ride happen.
It is ludicrous. The same biden admin that goes after banks for onerous fees on your checking accts...and other fees, is MUM about this. Friends in high places for their lobbying. ..and their ultimate owners, Blackrock, state street, vanguard, etc. Are playing along and want the stock to march up. But a tripling of their stock price only on the backs of millions of individual drivers' earnings getting CUT in just the years when all other prices of life are going up!! (Including the price of the uber/lyft ride) is out of control!!! This is an app and needs to take a capped fee. Always capped. It blows my mind this is allowed. Some intrepid dept of labor type or a savvy politician in the democratic party needs to make this their mantle at the national level and they wld garner lots of votes.
Great interview yall are the best
Thanks
Thank you 🙏
Thank you 🙏
I've scene many strikes in my 7 yrs of rideshare but they are always for like one day. Has there ever been the thought to strike one company at a time but for like a month. This way the drivers continue to make money but I think it would have bigger effect on the companies bottom line. Pepsi and Coke are two separate companies so are Uber and Lyft but we seem to treat them as one.
Excellent point
wow torsten and sergio BIG! two champions
I've been driving for Uber over 4 years. Because of the low pay, high gas amd insurance, I'm about to get out of rideshare
The same fares as 2015??? I would take 2015 fairs over the crap we’re getting sent today I have been on the road since about 715 (now 1:38 pm) put on over 160 miles here in the DFW area and sitting at $114. For a THURSDAY…horrible. The rates are so horrible on the busy days! So ready to call it quits but have bills to pay
2015 in sf we used to get paid $50 from sf to sfo now it’s barely 16-17 .
@@TheDriverOnWheels right? So again would absolutely take 2015 fares
@@HolliCMcCormick1 to be honest with you these 2 men are not here for drivers . I wish they worked hard for drivers but they don’t . I started driving in 2012 . These 2 probably never heard Uber when I was driving in San Francisco . Prices Uber and Lyft offering drivers are from 1985 . We need reform we need better advocates but not this 2 . They do not represent drivers . They just say blah blah blah
This is gold!!
ATTN: On 02/14/24 keep both apps on but don’t accept shit! One: It’s disrupts their algorithm and Two: It discourages the “crumb snatchers” that’s not protesting with us.
Nice to see you guys doing this together
The 1st thing they need to do is stop charging us to use the platform! Then stop taking their expenses out first. Like Chris said in the last video, that should be on them!
I have learned a lot from this episode you brought to the attention of Uber drivers , I liked it so much I wish we had some drivers advocate here in Canada especially in Alberta in Edmonton city.
Thank you Sergio, Torsten and Jeff for having the best rideshare platforms for riders rights
Amen!

We do what we do, everyone else does what they do, thanks for the comment
@@sergioSMTMC1 May your message resonate with those needing to break the cycle of desperation and find strength in numbers. We set our own self worth collectively. Drivers can and will work together to combat the algorithm. This protest will be a mixed bag but to those sacrificing your HIGH AR... We salute your commitment to support a better quality of life for your fellow drivers.
oh, you mean the guy that tells you to take cash for your rides tells people to break the law in my state it’s against the law they can take your car or you could be arrested is against the law in my state to take cash rides so you got some you tuber telling us to break the law really any blocked people on his channel that doesn’t agree with him hate to tell him but there’s 6 million drivers they’re gonna drive regardless what anyone says
@@AppRides plenty of others willing to speak up to their passengers about getting LUBERED. Soliciting yourself for cash rides is a personal decision legally or illegally. Some people might just have a lot of friends 😁. I personally show passengers how to set reservations to request me directly once I'm added to their favorites. The workaround sucks though. Would be nice to see the Apps give total control to the passengers allowing them to communicate with us through the app to set up "private" rides all "legal" and we can let the passengers decide who they want to ride with all the time based on availability and distance to pick up. Don't get your panties in a wad hearing about other drivers pocketing 500 to $1,000 a day without complying to your local or state laws. Thank BlackRock & Vanguard for creating the Rideshare Prohibition. They are the grand master of plantation economics. Bigger Picture Please.
@@AppRides Keep on Keeping on. If you're good at what you do that's all that matters. Legal or not Thank BlackRock &. Vanguard....... Majority shareholders of both Lyft and Uber. They are the grand masters of this plantation economy your bullied into complying with. The best drivers have a lot of friends who like their car and the way they drive. The Apps need to wake up and give power back to the people instead of inadvertently creating a Rideshare prohibition. Passengers should be able to request and directly communicate openly on the apps with drivers instead of having to set a 30 min minimum reservation ahead of time just to "potentially" reach the requested driver. If a passenger adds a driver as their favorite Uber and Lyft should add Direct requests in real time through the apps delegated and negotiated by Driver and Passenger. Apps can take their fixed take and OVERPRICED INSURANCE RATES.
Great appreciated Sergio 🙏
Thanks Torsten, much appreciated
why do you block my channel? Just need to know that answer. You block me from talking and you say so much about freedom of speech but yet you block people that disagree with you that’s not right I would say that would be called being a hypocrite I’m just saying.
@@AppRideshe is an ass
Sergio and brother big TK for our union leaders, if we ever get a chance to unionize 💪🏼
I am in . Thank you 🙏
Yes I love how both came together today thank guys.
Yes
I was at an airport a day ago and got this janky short ride to the hotel that is right at the airport. I pull up to hotel and customer says, 'thats the easiest $20 you ever made'..i replied 'i did not make $20 off this trip but as you may or may not know, uber takes its portion from your total'...customer got quiet and i helped them get their luggage out and told them to have a nice day and later got a $8 tip from them so Torsten is right on the point that customers still think what ever they are paying, that drivers get it all. This was a day ago, so it's still going on even in 2024. The non transparency by the apps is just crazy.
Sometimes you gotta be careful with that. He maybe referring about the tips he’s about to give you after said short ride if you played that card correctly. If the short rides don’t make sense to you, don’t accept it.
United we STAND! AP on but accept ZERO trips on 2/14/24!! Where do I sign petition??
I was thinking the same thing. I can't seem to find a link to the petition.
2 of the very best advocates for the drivers hell yeah good stuff guys 💪
thanks
Hi Sergio.
Don from Montana.
Uber lifer!
Let us know when the petition is coming out. You've got my signature!
It’s good to see the rideshare boss on here!
Great plans guys!
I hope you make it work together!
They won't get anything from threatening you just things can get worse for them!
We do what we do everyone else does what they do
Lets Go Men!!! Legislative Action!!!
Ok. I’ll turn on para. Adjust filters to $70 a mile. And auto decline every single ride for 12 hours. ! Let’s go. !
Agree with u Torsten the algorithm is wrong removing features if u don't satisfy Uber requirements.
Thank you 🙏
Been waiting for you guys to join forces. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Yeah I've been asking folks what they pay and tell them what I'm getting from the App lately. It's very shameful what they're doing to us drivers 😔😔
I did a trip in SF yesterday and after their external fees (Lyft) I didn’t get the 70% I should have got $6.12 instead I got $4.16
Wating for long time to see you together. I liked before I start the video.
Thank you 🙏
What do we need to do in Dallas-Fort Worth on the 14th?
Need creative legislation change to allow strikes to be more cost effective for drivers: By allowing them to take cash rides on strike days.
Then instead of losing money during strikes, drivers will make way more money per trip and the Rideshare companies lose 100% of their take.
What is needed. 1) single day insurance. 2) Digital sign: On strike Cash Only 3) use Uber Lyft driver’s background check as proof of background check…etc, etc.
What else needed to accomplish ?
I support sergio and rideshare professor
Fight the powerr !
The question of how much the rider paid should happen halfway into the ride. This allows for a dynamic conversation. When I’m asked, “Is Uber keeping you busy?” My response, “Being busy is relative. With these companies taking a larger portion of what you’re paying. How much were you charged for this ride?” Then this starts a legit conversation about take rates, how they’re ripping them (the rider) off and how they are surging them but not passing the increase to us…
Only reason Dara drove was to find out where the bottom pay was .
Goggle posted that uber just posted high profit for this quarter your thoughts keep up the good work
Uber has high profits is because they're taking all the money from the drivers and the passengers
You need to go on the news networks around the country and really reach the people and have them use the screen shots to show proof. Also use the radio stations as well for those that don't watch TV. Explain that drivers are working 80+ hours to make minimum wage after expenses.
We never should have been treated poorly in the first place. They knew they were doing it. I will never trust them.
How do I sign the petition? Where it says to sign the petition here, there's no link...
The problem is that UBER and LYFT do not have responsibility to make sure drivers get paid minimum wage or better. This is the work of the government. The CEO’s are hired to maximize profit in any way possible. So the best way ahead is as the professor proposes to create awareness for the politicians and have some sort of rule in place.
Had to share Lyft sent me a ride in the height of morning rush hr for $10.05 this was with a $3.75 bonus for 7.9 miles and a stop!!! So now they are trying to pay $10.05/hr😢😢😢😢 they're all shysters!!!!!
@RSG I will like to see UberJeepAz Jeff on your show or Mr. Mic Drop he has good information to provide as well.
Thanks Eddy. Appreciate you, brotha. I think Harry's brand is a lot different than mine. Sergio may wanna come to the MicDrop BBQ, but my energy on this channel would throw off a lot of their subs. George Carlin rubbed people the wrong way, and I'm a HUGE Carlin fan...let's just say that. I tell it like it is, and it's not always easy for "softer" people to digest it. That's why I do my damage at the BBQ!
WHO?
@@MicDropBBQSeems like our subs are doing fine at 175K, we stick to our lane, you stick to yours, wish you the best!
@@MicDropBBQ That's true I guess not everyone can digest your type of channel gotta keep it pg-13, I just tired of these companies fucking us drivers man I know I'm not the only one here as well but hopefully this year this is change that comes with these gig companies. I think RSG needs to spice up the channel it's to pg-13 😂😂.
@@eddymorales7372 My channel has a button that says NOT FOR KIDS on it. Hahahahha!
Pay shaving it happen to me and got screenshot save these. Ping for $6 ride and push notification tip $6, then once completed em got paid $4.99 and shave also the tip to $5, so in summary steal $1 each for driver pay and tip shaving for $1.
Uber sets up lower acceptance rates like expecting me to drive 45 minutes to take a rider from A to B within a few miles of each other and then be stuck there and for low pay. It is not a rich area by no means. My acceptance rate is lower because I refuse to go into bad neighborhood places and there are lots of those in my area.

# power to the drivers !!!!!
The only solution long term will be upfront pricing, full disclosure and voting on fares and percentages for these gig companies. They continue to add new tabs with lower pricing for the riders..well they also should lower their percentages if you want drivers to even consider touching one of these. Full disclosure and honesty. This is why they won't do upfront pricing here in NY. Drivers would storm these offices and create huge waves. What we need is a newer more honest gig company to break through and shake things up. Decent rates and percentages going no higher than 25%
Better informed decisions with upfront pricing and lower percentages for the gig companies at least on the cost effective pricing for riders
Drivers, ask all your riders this simple question: "Btw, if you don't mind me asking, how much is uber/lyft charging you for this ride?"
It opens the conversation. Educating riders is all upside for drivers. The simple fact that uber/lyft hide the rider paid amount from the driver surprises most riders. It naturally leads to discussing how much you are getting paid for the ride. When they find out, most riders are shocked. Don't come across as whiny or complaining, just "matter-of-fact" about it.
I'm not a fan of this, it puts them in an awkward situation. But if the pax asked, we converse.
@@HarringJess It doesn't. You're projecting your own expectations. 6,000+ uber rides, 4,000+ lyft rides. I've had ZERO riders be offended at this question. 99.9% are happy to talk your ear off about it.
I talk to most of my passengers that Uber and Lyft take most of
The money we can’t even make a minimum wage
Dont fall for Davids Smile!!
To news media stress driver turnover rate, (80%); AND the accident rate which I suspect are horrendous.
same poor as I am X rides penny rides which they takes 49% per rides but drivers 51% not considering our cost to maintain the car, oil change, tires, depreciation, insurance risk..
I fucking love these two!
We love you back 🙏

Where is the petition link?
I quit Uber and Lyft cause I was making 6.00/hour after expenses in Florida. All drivers making less than minimum wage should quit on the same day and show them that they as companies they suck ass. It's not us that suck but them. They pay CEOs millions and they pay us .65 cents or less per mile.
