The other possibility you are ignoring is that a lot of those drivers may be aware that they are breaking even or barely making any profit, but may be choosing to continue driving because they love driving, or they love meeting new people, or they simply want to stay busy and be out and about instead of sitting at home and getting bored/depressed.
Basically, I don't buy the "so many people wouldn't continue doing it if they weren't making good money" argument.
- manigandham 7y agoDo you honestly think that is the majority? That they're doing it for fun? Have you ever driven for Uber? Have you talked to drivers? Why assume they're all irrational or incapable of figuring out what their time is worth? I have direct experience with hundreds of drivers including many students, retirees, elderly, disabled and my own friends. They all do it because they get paid. There are thousands of other things they would rather do for fun or to stay busy, not sit in traffic to drive strangers around.
