I ride Uber daily to commute to work. The article describes pretty well my experience with Uber. It is a bimodal mix of (1) people who want flexible, marginal employment and (2) people who make a living out of it. The people who make a living out of it definitely get the short end of the stick.

- esotericn 7y agoIs it viable to do Uber flexibly in the US? In the UK it's not. I looked into it as I'd enjoy driving people about on weekends, and I rarely drink so I could do nights out etc. Assuming you have a car that's suitable, you still need a private hire licence and taxi insurance that make it uneconomical unless you do fairly long hours.
- kn0where 7y agoIn the US, regulations on Uber are mostly at a state or city level, so in many cities you don’t need that special license, etc (although your regular insurance company won’t be happy if they catch on)
