Wow. There are a lot of people in here that have never worked in the Services industry or done the math for an Uber driver's take home pay after taxes/gas/maintenance.
It's ironic how the same people who say they don't mind paying a higher price vs tips, are choosing Uber because they are cheaper than a Lyft/Taxi.
- aquadrop 9y agoWhy do you think those are the same people?
- magic_beans 9y agoI'd easily use NYC taxis if they had an app and payment system as convenient as Uber's. I HATE having to tip, but wouldn't mind paying higher to have it included in the price; I also abhor the taxi TV nonsense blaring in NYC cabs.
- wcummings 9y agoI never used Uber when I lived in NYC, its actually more work than hailing a cab there IMO.
- _1 9y agoI don't take Uber because it's cheaper ... I take it so I don't have to worry about a "broken" credit card reader, getting an accurate receipt, or worrying about what is considered a "fair" tip. With Uber, I assume if the driver accepts the trip, then they are okay with their cut from Uber.
- TuringNYC 9y agoThis is an anecdote, but I do not choose an Uber because it is less expensive. I choose Uber because it is easier than hailing a taxi. It provides more certainty. You dont need to fight other people on the street for a taxi. You dont need to wait 30minutes for a cab to arrive (or never arrive) despite the dispatcher saying "5 minutes." You dont need to begrudgingly hand a $20 note for a $6 ride to a cabbie who "doesn't have change." You can reimburse corporate trips because the cabbie is never out of receipts. There are so many reasons I use Uber rather than traditional taxis.
