That's what I'll be shouting at Uber headquarters.

Charlotte, NC needs higher rates. UberX drivers make 60 cents a mile and 11 cents a minute before expenses. We deserve better!!! Uber is not amazing. It sucks! They exploit drivers. Meanwhile Uber is taking in 40-50 percent or more of each ride. Why? Because they raised rates - upfront fare- it's just us sucker drivers don't get any of it. It's bull !!! Don't be a schmuck. You deserve more.

Here is a thought, get another job. Nobody is telling you to drive for Uber. Your just lazy and really don't want to work. Lets be honest.

Ahhh another self-defeating driver. How unique. Uber counts on losers to do the job. News flash - you're worth more! So go get more!

Businesses attempt to minimize their expenses and maximize their income. Drivers do it. Uber does it, too.
The Las Vegas market doesn't get much more than that either. But I expect lower rates to the drivers due to too many drivers. If Uber needs more drivers, they'll raise the rates. Drivers don't DESERVE anything other than what they agreed to.

I agree that driving for these rates is nuts. The problem comes down to a supply and demand issue. Too may drivers equals schmuck rates. Drivers can't complain about desperate drivers, they need any cash they can get. The non-desperate drivers should reconsider driving at these rates.

If Uber raised rates to the drivers, there would be more drivers. It might also mean fewer riders due to a possible fare increase to the riders. More drivers competing for fewer riders is not good. Is 3 rides per hour at $8 a ride better than 2 rides per hour at $10?

I agree, you deserve better, go get a real job!

I am not driving for them at $1.08 a mile & $0.19 a minute in one of the busiest markets. How the &%[email protected]!* do you drive for $0.60 a mile?? GTFO OUT NOW!
I have a real job. Rideshare is my side gig.

Exactly why do drivers deserve more?
More than what?

What we used to get?

what drivers in busier markets get per mile?

What i STILL get driving a taxi?

3 reasons right there...

I would be driving uber because it is honestly more convenient and 12 hour shifts can be grueling, but at least i'm making money.(OK honestly the cab company is better at driver support as well)

Some of us are getting 40% of what we used to get from uber... and half of what people in other markets are getting...

I know but i'm going to beat the ol dead horse and say this.

you will never see rates raise until drivers turn off the apps......only thing U/L will hear.
As long as there is a revolving door of suckers that won't happen.

U/L have terrible retention rates because most newbies realize their earnings suck. Don't worry U/L will be raising rates soon using the rational of rising gas prices. Of course, I do next expect that drivers will see any of it.
