It's not excessive compared to how much most taxi drivers have to pay, every day, to lease their cars...

- VincentEvans 11y agoAh, relative good deed! "The other guys are even worse" value offering :) Like the mob "protection" racket.
- celticninja 11y agoit is if you look at the UK market, in the UK most drivers own their own cars and they hire a radio from the taxi company at a daily rate. They then keep the fares themselves. As with UBER you have to provide your own vehicle, there is no radio so you have to provide your own smartphone too. And as their pricing indicates they will take a greater cut from new drivers. That will continue to increase if they are successful in putting other taxi firms out of business. i.e once they remove the competition (or minimise the sufficiently) there will be no alternative but for drivers to pay uber a 45% fee for each ride.
- zacharycohn 11y agoUh, no. You don't have to provide your own smartphone.
