Uber is Making Big Changes in California for Drivers! Is all this due to CA AB5?
I welcome these changes over the past month culminating with commission caps at 25%, showing destination, bringing the old surge …
They don't care, they make themselves look like the kinder gentler rideshare company, they're as nad and lately worse than Uber
Yes, in support of AB5, the big one is next week in Sacramento when the Bill will go through the CA Senate
well it's their numbers, national average
Sorry to hear that, you can always contact a labor attorney. They're both evil companies, didn't that run a background check on you when you first signed up? They should have caught that then. Are you also on Uber? That's why I always recommend signing up for both, don't know why some drivers only do Lyft thinking they're any better.
I will be there to cover it for RSG.
Did you read the article? It's a monthly subscription
I'm afraid the train has left the station.
No fake news here go ahead and read the article the company exists that got funded they're in operation
Is that before of after baby sitting? 😆
Uber=Evil Empire
Lyft=Dysfunctional Little Sister
Uber and Lyft are just taxi companies with an app.
It will never happen, I'll drop you off there then call another UBER.
It'll be in RSG, I'll post a link when it's published
Can you spell MLM?
Writing an article about it it'll be published on Monday disruptors one day we'll get disrupted themselves there's also another company called Alto check them out
It could work, I know about them, with any new company that wants to compete with Uber and Lyft getting drivers to sign up is not the hurdle, having passengers to switch and marketing costs is the major hurdle.
There's no flexibility with Uber LUX, you have to be literally on 24 hours a day. List some of your weekly prices for the cars please.
I absolutely agree. Thank you for your comment. Since their IPO rates for passengers are going up while UBER and Lyft slash rates the drivers receive by 50% or more just this week alone. Are they passing on the increases the passenger experiences to their drivers? Of course not.
Three groups were very happy about U/L IPO, the top executives, the VC who got 10000% return on their investment and the passenger who all lived in a subsidized fantasy land. It's over now!
They do that regularly anyway, watch out if you do a lot of LAX
It will always cost less than a can did you know that Lyft just cut driver rates by another 50% this week? In a lot of cities like Las Vegas, Phoenix, Minneapolis and Austin mileage rates have been reduced to as low as 33 cents a mile while the standard IRS deduction for drivers id 58 cents. So every ride is automatically a loss for the driver.
Thank you for your comments regarding the drivers plight.
