I say less than 100 trips before he quits

Shortly after figuring out that no money is being made...
- long distances to pick up rides with short destinations
- not driving during surges
- made money to catch up on bills
- realized that they are paying to drive

eg. Got a 21 minute drive only to drive rider 2 miles... (Your time and miles... (21min*.18 + 10mile*1.10 ) - (your pay.... 4min*.18 + 2mile*1.10 + .18*21 - 25%)

Just messin with you.

To your original question, I think you're right about most new drivers quitting short of 100 rides due to discouragement over earnings, ride share co. policies and practices, etc.

A lot, I'm sure, have expectations that go unmet.

I personally didn't have high hopes of doing this for any significant amount of time or full time, expecting to make decent money. Kind of a trial process. Maybe that's why I've made it to 300 and will continue in a similar pattern.
