oh wow, so that means 0 coverage if we get into accident if the insurance knows we're driving for uber, unless we have a commercial insurance.

On top of that, actually without PSV license, you could be sued by rider, or fined by authority, as well.

Boost quantums are based on drivers' driving patterns.

Old drivers (being those who joined for longer) are of course eligible for better deals. Would you still be able to buy a landed property at the same price as your parents 10 years ago? smile.gif

given the property example, looks like from 25% it's on it's way to 50%.

Very good Uber's investment.

I had stopped doing 'charity' for past 3 weeks.
I can confirm my cost ($) really higher than income, and I didn't factor in my time spent.

Guys....received an email from Uber to rate the likely hood to introduce friends, colleagues and families to drive Uber and introduce your friends and family members.....this is time to put all your feedback yeah.....

I had done mine.....let see if there will be any changes subsequently, although I doubt so, but, at least another avenue

its going to be like an MLM, if it's so good, why need to intro after 3 years?

if it's so good, it should have been auto rolling by itself after so long.

in the video, driving uber is compared to be like going to loanshark to borrow money in the long run, very appealing to people who need cash now urgently, little they know that when the time comes they will ended up pay more than earning in the long run.

Distance pay by uber - 40km
Distance to pick up rider - 20km


*
given uber 25% comm, if you are smart, simple maths tells you that your 'gross earning distance' is only (40km * 0.75) = 30km

which means your efficiency is only 30km / 60km = 50%

every buck you earn, half goes to uber and charity drive (aka distance to pickup rider).

why slave yourself so badly?

from previously park your car and ride train concept has evolved to uber to ride train.

Grab already has an ios app.

Uber is just to get some short term money. If you factor in long term wear and tear (not just servicing cost) like drive shafts, engine mountings, shock absorbers, brake pads, belts and tyres you are probably paying to drive people around. And this is based on a car you already own so road tax, insurance, instalment and depreciation doesn't factor in.
*
exactly, especially appealing to financially not savvy people who like immediate short term money but suffer long term later, which is why driving uber will not be a permanent job, hence uber don't will not treat you like a perm staff, not even contract staff, at most like temp staff. You can only see this clear when u wake up from the matrix, like some i see here already started to, only after months.

Uber can earn so much meh?
*
their income definition is so flawed. It's called collection. You are smarter, so you want to look at costings more clearly.

1/4 took by uber 25% comm.
1/4 to pay for petrol, incl wasted trips to pickup/go home and between trips drive to no where.
1/4 pay for maintenance, phone/data, saman, car depreciation, health insurance, engine overhaul, accidental risk, etc.
you get 1/4 at most (peanut)

you are not even in business/employment/contract category, hence slavery category is created for uber drivers.

So, next time anyone tell u that they earn 4k (in collect), tell them that they work 10 hours a day to earn at most 1k only.

if traffic jam (check waze), as a rider, use Grab (driver do the opposite)

if no traffic jam (check waze), as a rider, use Uber (driver do the opposite)
