The irony is the driver who fkd him is likely a middle eastern with a name like fawzi kamel! And kocknick is trying to give those refugees jobs! This is what the liberals do...they are always thinking about themselves and how to profit from others.

Only someone as strong as a government can deal with him, as we have witnessed and which will happen in Singpore come mid year.

This guy has messed up the whole world under the disguise of technology and helping the unemployed. What is human to him ? - Shxt - as himself screamed to the driver in this report.

To Kalanick Uber was never a driver-centric model but a forward-looking business that touts a fleet of autonomous taxi fleet.

You can get tough with a machine but human don't take it down well.

They are doing a piece on the Uber pool wages and how they are stealing extra money from us. I have been sending over all this info that a lady from Bloomberg is asking for. With screenshots of the customers receipts what I was actually paid. They are already over 3700 in siphoned fees from the difference the tell you riders paid and what they actually paid. And on your 1099 they are charging you for the whole thing. Even what they stole. It should be juicy! Can't wait.
Anyone in sgp wanna take this up? Basically, uber is charging the rider more than they are declaring to the driver, on top of the 20% commish. In other words, drivers are scammed. Anyone wanna start a petition?

I don't mind but I don't know what should I do. Riders paying by card, the longest I have to wait is like 1 hour before I can see the last trip history is updated. -.-"

If you're found out, you will be terminated by uber. Best thing you can do is take a ride, then quietly ask your driver the amount he sees in his driver app. Do a social experiment. Of course, it'll cost money but nobody says proving a point is cheap or free.

Some of the forummers did that earlier already.Check earlier threads.Its been proven that Uber does charge riders more than what the drivers see
Not all the time lah, bro.

Uber has reasons for doing that most of the time based on my brief observation. If you wanna mount a collective class suit, make sure u have sufficient grounds and understand your rights (limited) as a partner-driver before u do so.

That time someone posted a video too from US, this guy was doing a test on rider and driver app, the missing fees.

If you do a law suit you will lose your pants. Uber as the right to charge the riders one fare and pay you another fare. Each party see the fares quoted on their respective apps and decides whether to accept. Willing seller willing buyer.

Picked up an Uber driver at Ubi today. He is Mr Ong. Has a daughter who's interested to join Smove. Don't ask me why too!

He claims to hold a TDVL, was a cabby for 25 years and crossed over to Uber in 2014.

Then I asked the holy grail question: why did he jump ship? Man told me he is earning $8k by driving 8am to 9pm every day on Uber and takes home about $5k nett. He wouldn't be getting back into a cab anytime soon because business are bad.

I am not swayed.

;)

It is true. You can make 5K to 5 digits the sky the limit by driving Uber.

Hence that is why I don't understand why are those Uber office workers like customer service or product development or accounting are still working for the company instead of driving for the company. Unless Uber pays them 5K onwards for their job which I don't reckon so. They must as well drive for Uber to start earning 5 digits.

It's Uber's algorithm,it doesn't always steal fares from the drivers but then again you won't know how many times it did cos you can't check immediately whether the trip tallies? Fool proof plan-just accept cash ONLY
