Uber is masking the amount of surge during high drive times and lowering the price it shows to drivers. Prove me wrong

Just been doing UE lately, yesterday I was in a 1.3 boost zone. Had a relatively close pick up and drop off. There was a nice tip included so I accepted. After the trip and before the tip posted I wanted to check on how much the boost actually paid. $2.50 has been my base fare since starting UE. This trip the base was $2.06 with the promotion paying $.44. Just does not seem right to me. BTW, they customer ended up tipping double!!

Boost and surge are pretty much irrelevant. All that matters is the upfront fare. They can add surge and subtract from the fare, same with boost. So, you have to look at the total and decide to accept or pass. The only thing surge is good for is to tell you when it's busy and how much you should be expecting for the ping.

All boost is a dollar out of your pocket and they hand you back .75 cents … if this gig paid a decent rate you would need a boost. Since it doesn’t they market it to you as something good. Any bonus or quest or any bring is not in your favor.

Uber up to it's usual tricks/games/smoke'n mirrors. So what else is new?

Green cheese suggest a young or unaged cheese. Unless it came from
Bulgaria, I would say the center of the Moon based on its age no longer has green cheese.

Cheese is its own food group.

The best you can do at this point is try to keep the trips to $1/mile on regular trips, then when it is Boost time do the shortest trips possible and as many as you can to accumulate the Boost money.

Uber is a scam

In my market and probably the overwhelming majority of major metropolitan markets, $1 per mile isn't nearly enough to be profitable, especially for delivery.

Every market is different. I was able to arrive home at $1/mile including all the dead miles, so that worked for me.

i will not take $1 mile long(er) trips. Especially ones that put you to far away from decent pickup areas.

They lower the fare amount to absorb the surge. So we're essentially working at base rates all the time. Surges mean absolutely nothing now

Me either. I typically drive in about a 10 mile radius. That's it. I can easily get into a dead area if I drive any further, and would have to deadhead back.
