my riders have been pretty open as far as talking about how much they pay and it seems like Uber is taking nearly 50%! And they claim it’s 25%. Unreal
One needs to take the yearly average, not on a few trips.

What I think occurs is Uber takes more to pay the monthly insurance quicker as perhaps too many are doing it for awhile then bailing out. Why on trip basis it may appear to be more while that's occurring.

On a annual basis $129k gross, Uber took (including taxes and expenses) $46K

So that's apx 36% including expenses. Far better than Lyfts 48% rake take.

The "25%" is what Uber takes for itself to run operations which they are barely profitable. If they quit spending money on stupid robots they would be very profitable.

Has Uber gone into super save mode and has pulled back on all boost pay. The pay has declined drastically here in ct. has anyone else experienced this???
Dont take crappy offers.
That boost is generally a surge killer
But it's better than nothing I guess
Chose your rides carefully 😉

So wait... you made 83k taking rides in the direction you were already going? How is that possible?
