I ran Uber in New Haven CT for about 3 months. At first I was up against 15-20 other drivers on a given shift. BUT - they kept hiring week after week, after week, after week, until by the end of 3 months I was up against 100+ other drivers. Instead of averaging about 20 rides during 8-10 hours and making $100.00 gross before expenses.....near the end I was doing 5-6 rides in that same 8-10 hours......earning $20.00-$25.00!!! Less than 1/4 minimum wage! GREEDY UBER! They make their 25% cut either way. Whether 1 driver does 20 rides - or 20 drivers do 1 ride! They broke the business model for those that WERE earning something. Do NOT miss Uber ONE BIT!
