Don't listen to the stats saying you can make $20, you cant. That is only if you get lucky with tips and BEFORE expenses

I'll see a decent number of airport rides Sunday nights - all those consultants traveling to their job sites for the week. Great tips on these rides too.

I don't think this is true. Can you finish your trip in offline mode? Won't Uber catch on?
It is the Uber of China and it is huge! It just expanded into Mexico.

As a driver, if I knew the kid was under 18 I wouldn't take them. Not worth the drama that could ensue.
We used to make more money till Uber cut all our profits, I guess I'm hoping that there will be a day when the profits rise again?
