This early morning got a 2.5x to Placentia. Already took the longest possible route (105-405-10-60-57) and Uber still made 42% of rider's total fare. Therefore Uber was charging more than 2.5x at LAX.

Fuber is likely looking at stats on the amounts PAX are tipping and determing the PAX marginal propensity to consume.

That would explain a $2 overage not $20

They can test all they want as long as they pay us our fair share. Anything uBer charges a pax we get compensated the full amount less 20% 25% depending when you got onboard with uBer. Anything besides that is straight FRAUD !!

Unless you found a way to drive without accepting the May 22, 2017, addendum; you agreed to drive for $0.72/0.67 per mile and $0.12/0.1125 per minute.
It's not fraud if Uber pays you what you agreed to be paid.

Yep from all the years back they scammed us. They are operating a Pyramid Scheme so they are taking money they scammed drivers from last year to pay the boost and quest for this year. So basically they are taking our own money and making it seem like giving us more. Straight scam.
Yes but here is the problem. That does not mean when it surges we are not entitled to that higher pay. I think you forgot to mention that. No matter how you want to put it and its their agreement everything suppose to run in sync. They have been scamming for YEARS !! Their is NOTHING in their agreement that say's when it surges we collect more but just pay you base rate.

Actually, nowhere in the addendum does it say the driver is entitled to surge rates.
It does state, "Fares vary by region (detailed at partners.uber.com), may vary depending on local supply and demand, and may also be adjusted in our discretion based on local market factors."
The operative word here is "May".
Fare: "You are entitled to a Fare for each Ride that you provide, where "Fare" is a base fare amount plus actual distance and/or time amounts (or as required by applicable law), provided that distance and/or time amounts may be predetermined in certain situations, such as for flat rate and minimum fare trips, or estimated where GPS information for that trip is unavailable."
In the addendum, "Fare" is what you earn per mile and minute; not what the rider pays.
So in a nutshell, yes Uber can charge the rider whatever surge multiple they want and still pay the driver base.
Agree on driver part , but not " whatever they can change to pax", keep in mind uber still states per mile and minutes rates ,if surge is 2.5 X then they charge it accordingly.

I agree, as per Uber's pax TOS they're supposed to pay by miles and minutes as well unless there is surge involved.
Under upfront fares it mentiones a base rate, miles and minutes and the third item is the current demand, uber can make that up as they wish and charge pax as they please.

Uber use 3.5 surge for rider and showing us 2.5 because i know that 2.6 on x same fare on select if check the rider app when it surging for a long ride like 40 miles you will finde its 120 $ for select 160 $ for x so that why you will never ever let them loss at all

The bottom line is not matter how you want to put it. You suppose to get paid whatever uBer charges the pax minus the 20-25% uber fee and
that's it. So why even have surge on the map if they don't half to pay it??? You charge a pax $200 for a trip you should get paid $160.00 if at 20%.
They already add on all these other service fee's which uBer keeps.
