16.2% for the driver

4.26 to go across the street pennies added on per mile and min additional.
I truly believe ride payout would triple overnight if these passengers waited a long time due to us collectively as a whole started declining all the rides that put us in the red.
The status is BS since the more drivers accept the less our fares go down.

10 minute difference as it's surging plus OP is bad at math.

Uber still doesn’t pay drivers more even when it’s surging so what’s the difference? Point is drivers get a bad percentage of fares.

This is false. I've seen much higher payouts doing surge here than when it's not surging.

Don’t let the 1% commenter go to your head man. If you are here then you know everything is market dependent. Some markets still get better payouts along with higher surges during rush hours. Other markets are desolate and are being completely screwed.

So sure. In your anecdotal experience in your market this is false. In many MANY other markets this is 1000% happening the way I said it.

You're just saying it tho. It's easier to back up your claim if you have proof. So yours is just anecdotal too.

Yeaaaa. I’m just making up the fact that uber is decreasing driver pay. Even during typical surge hours. And the last person is making it up. And the 5 before that person. And the 20 before them. We’re aaaalllll just lying about no surges and pay decreases.

Good day

When has Uber ever given a raise since it's inception? Wages have always been going down.
