Hi,
I get this asked by passengers very often "So, what is your other job; What else do you do besides this....) I always wander how do they konw or assume that Rideshare is my only job? :) Once a stoned lady stared at me for 5 minutes during the ride from the back seat and had the following to say "Ehhhh, uhhh, you look pretty smart for an Uber driver.... ????? lol
Well, I think there's doubts in every one's mind whether a ridesharing can be a full time job or not. Sometimes I wonder if Uber really believes it ....or wants it to be that way.
There are many arguments as to how this should be a part-time job. Leveraging peope's downtime, taking advantage of car that you already own, and just considering it as a supplemental income.
I don't think it's too out there that Uber never wanted full-time people. They just wanted part-times and elimiate all fulltime drivers (i.e. taxi and limo drivers)
Slightly, deep, I know.
Anyone know the stat on how many drivers are full time vs part time (side hustle)?
I think 30% full and 70% part time
rideshareguy blog did a survey that may serve as good reference
The thing is though, it's completely arbitrary and it depends on whom you consider as part-time. There are so many drivers who have driven in the past and no longer drives. or those who drive like once a month for fun. If we counted every registered driver, the percentage will be way skewed towards part-time drivers.
Also, the rideshareguy's audience is primarily dedicated drivers. Those who care enough to follow the blog and also took the time to answer the survey. I would imagine the % is more like 95-5.
LOL love it
