When I talked to drivers, I came to the conclusion that the drivers are paid more than the passengers are charged, which makes sense. Uber makes huge losses every year.
The hope is that this can last long enough before the drivers can all be fired and replaced with automated cars, or at least that the system will get better (i.e. better at stuffing cars full of people, more demand by training people to order the carpools, etc.).
- pmorici 11y ago"When I talked to drivers, I came to the conclusion that the drivers are paid more than the passengers are charged" That isn't true in general for an Uber driver. What you might have been seeing is that when Uber goes into a new city they guarantee a minimum amount of pay per hour for a driver during certain times if they are logged into the app accepting fares. It is only a temporary measure until they get established in a local market. Once they stop subsidizing earnings for drivers drop precipitously.
