Are there any Uber drivers on this board to come and offer some insight on their end?

Been an uber customer for roughly 3 years (first in DC, now in Chicago), and will only use a cab when I'm desperate. Last weekend I gave my first every 2 star review to a driver, and without even asking they refunded me the fare of my trip.

Don't even get me started on YC in BR. Lived there 5 years and y'all deserve everything you're getting. Karma is a real bitch.

Wishing Uber much success in BR, and hopefully NOLA soon too.


To you, I say:

When I asked an Über driver long ago I thought he said he had to buy the iphone but they provided the service

YC rates 4 to start 2 a mile and .5 a min. Our meters don't charge meter and timer at the same time. if cab is moving then timer is off. if cab is stopped the timer kicks on. look at the post of the uber charge and notice they charge both. and here is their price according to them LINK

Yet.. It's free for a certain amount of time.

The Uber driver's subreddit is a good read.

He should be, he is going to need a new job or get used to making WAY less money.

BTW...can you imagine how the meetings between the Yellow Cab and its drivers must be like? I am sure management tells them everything will be fine.

Dude, no matter what you say UberX is cheaper than a metered cab 100% of the time.

If people want to drive part time in BR they won't be making too much.. Just some side cash.

You have to deduct $500 for use of the phone and whatever gas you use. That's a lot to take out of your part time pay.

I'd love to drive in San Francisco. BR.. frick no.
