Uber just sent this to me at my rider's account email.

--------------------

It's your lucky day: $3.17 flat fares in Vegas

Ride on St. Paddy's Day for $3.17

Save a pot o' gold when you take uberPOOL in Las Vegas this St. Patrick's Day. Pay just $3.17 all day on March 17th!

From home to the Irish pub, or out for date night, your celebration will be simple, festive and affordable.

--------------------

So, are we getting a hosed on all "Flat fee uberPOOL" trips as drivers?

 

[Skepticaldriver]

Youre always getting hosed on pool rides. But what youre asking is if they pay 3.17 to go across town, will you get more. Yes. You will get paid by time and mile according to pool rates. Which is usually lower than x rates. No longer does the money flow from riders minus ubers cut to you. Pax pay uber whatever rate uber charges them. You get paid the rate uber pays u for pool. The problem is uber is competing with public transportation like city busses instead of competing with cabs. No real pax verification happens. You will get even more subhuman trash in your car and people paying 3.17 can now rate u the same as someone paying 10 etc. also. Not from vegas but u can drive clear across town picking up pools and dropping them off along your way which is way more bs work and make less than if you took an uber x clear across town. Pool needs to cease to exist and these techies coming up with this shiite need to cease to exist. Fax!

But drivers will still be paid accordingly, but.....wait for it.....no surge since it won't matter

While you will probably have to fight for it, unmatched Pool rides do get paid as a X ride.

I also recieved this as a rider. Hey its Saint Patricks day. Have fun with all the drunks trying to cram 4 people on a pool ride. Absolutely no pool for me tomorrow.

Do you thin pool pays you per rider? You make the same if you have 1 or 3 different rides all you get is an additional 70 cents per rider. You make less per mile and time in pool so Yea f pool
