How?

 

Yep, this is Uber.

Why one has to use Mystro to automatically cherry pick trips and remain in a certain zone or be sent off to another town paying crap with no ride back.

Be surprised how many dumb people will just take anything.

Drivers just look at the short term pay (gross - gas = pay) and ignore the long term costs like maintenance, repairs, replacement etc.

Why many go bankrupt and live out of their cars.

 

The actual job of uber I enjoy, driving around beautiful Sydney chatting to randoms. That’s why I find the pay rate so frustrating.

 

Don't worry, workers union coming to the rescue

Rideshare drivers bypassing fatigue restrictions as cost-of-living hits

According to the Transport Workers' Union, some rideshare drivers have reported being on the road for up to 18 hours a day, swapping between multiple apps in order to bypass fatigue restrictions.

End result will be, more restrictions on hours and no change to earnings. Leave Didi on overnight by mistake and you won't be able to work when you wake up the next day. Thanks a lot, transport workers union! Why are they even interfering? Who decided they represent us?

 

Well you first get the earnings up, only then do you talk about reducing the hours worked. What you don't do is combine the two as the only thing that will happen is the reduced hours.

Uber will never increase rates if drivers don't decrease hours, why would they? Only when drivers drive less, they can expect that Uber will increase rates. Less driving = more profitable

Uber does not want us to work less, they want us to drive more. These driving hours restrictions were forced on Uber by the truly awful Gladys. I am not really affected by them, I just do not like government interference. Different story for those who choose to hang out in the cage or at international. They aren't driving, they are just relaxing. It is absurd that the hours they spend in the cage counts towards their 12 driving hours.

Higher rates mean more profit for Uber. Uber still has the mindset of a startup with the primary aim of increasing its customer base. A mature company on the other hand aims to maximise earnings from existing customers.

 

I blame politicians that created the legislation that allowed companies like uber to rip off drivers and to outsource majority of jobs. Same way politicians let boomers have 6 investment properties causing a housing shortage for everyone else.

Looooollll... Those 6 properties are available for rent...

 

Well if they focused on somehow helping young people to get their FIRST home instead of hyper focusing on enabling boomers to buy up so many of the houses we’d have a fair go in action.
