I did it for a while for giggles between jobs. It was fun, but I was damn near close to losing money the entire time. No way I'd break even with the new bullshite rates.

Out of curiousity, do most drivers work several hours at a time, or are they just randomly picking up rides throughout the day? Doesn't seem like there would be enough weekday demand in BR to keep a driver busy.

Most cherry pick their hours for the peak times (Thursday - Sat evening/night)

No driver's schedule is the same. I work a 8-5 day job and just use Uber for some extra cash on the side. There's little to no demand in the weekday, and the new rate cuts hardly make it worth it. Only real time to make money in BR is during surge hours late night on the weekends.
