But did you yourself make more than you would have with one pax?

 

[Sandhills]

definitely not!..peak surge.. 30 mins to the city ...net $23..out of $35

Each non pool fare would have been close to $20-25 net

The ones who benefited here are Uber and the client at the expense of the driver.

This sounds like an extract from UBER's Mission Statement.

The UBERNAUT who developed the UBERPOO model probably won Employee of The Year for the effort

Don’t do pool.................

Reject all pool jobs.................

Sit on the side of the road instead of doing pool......... don’t help Uber with this product.

Do you mind putting up screenshot of the trip?

1 rider you lose money

More than 1 rider, Uber increases the commission and takes the extra profit.

It is a lose lose scenario for drivers

NO to POO

I booked 2 Poo rides and an UBERX ride last week.

From Broadway to King St Wharf and back after a Vivid Cruise were the 2 Poo rides. UberX would’ve been $11-12 the Poo ride $7.60 & $7.90.

I asked the drivers why they did Poo work. They both said that if they get the 2nd job they will earn more than an X job. What chance is that with 2 of us on board I asked ? 1st guy reckoned he got a 2nd pickup about 50% of the time, 2nd driver less often. Both had grubby cars, fully expected for the returns they were getting.

I told them they were gambling their ratings away for passengers that will give them trouble. One asked how I knew that as his rating had dropped with Poo jobs.

I told them to try and keep a close watch on their returns and ratings, as UberPoo only benefits UBER & passenger. Drivers miss out UBER is better at Maths than drivers

No 2nd pickup. I gave both a $5 tip, at least UBER can’t get their grubby hands on that.

Took a UberX last week. I told the driver that I do Uber part time and asked him his opinion of poo. He was like that was the best thing since Internet?!?! I told him my hatred towards it.. don't think he'd get it. There are ants like that too

Many Uber drivers cannot see past the daily amount on their screen,

• even less have done a spreadsheet projection to deduct their fixed/variable costs,
  
• even less have done a projected Profit/Loss Statement which includes the accelerated depreciation of their vehicle.

Yep uber loves the typical dumb ant who just see $300 in the bank for a days work

Life changing money for most of them

I'm now resisting the temptation to say "no thanks" to pOO requests. I let the ping time out instead.

Saying no thanks to pOO requests just means that FUber can send the ping out to more drivers quicker. Keeping the cheap pOO riders waiting longer for a pax to get matched with a pOO driver is a good thing. Hopefully they give up, or get advised no cars available.

 

[Spirto]

I still don't understand why drivers take Poo jobs and then tell us it's not worth it.

Did you seriously expect any different?
Each Poo acceptance is a win for Uber and Pax, and a direct loss for drivers because it erodes our actual worth.
You're collectively slitting not only your own throats And our throats too.

 

[Leroy B]

I did 1 Poo job when it was new because I didn't know it was Poo. The rider gets in and then it flashes additional pickup inconveniently located so I ask rider their address and take them directly and then 2nd rider eventually cancels.

You were being mean to them. A nice person would give them a 1* to teach them to reject Poo. You did them a disservice by encouraging them to replace money with Poo.
