Yep the Uber reality in Brazil is too different from the US. Working as an Uber in Brazil nets you more than what's available for even those that have degrees.

Also, cheap drives has made it so even poor people take an Uber, whereas taxis are only for the rich. Uber prices go up, poor people stop using Uber. I'll stop using Uber.
- kopos 6y agoIs this without any incentives from Uber? From what I’ve seen in India, the drivers have to work really hard and do 50-69 hour days to get a decent living. With Uber taking a 30% cut, and the driver themselves having to cough up the repairs, etc - it does not amount to a huge jump in income.

- d0100 6y agoI'm not sure about incentives from Uber, but the few drivers I talked to report at least twice the minimum wage, doing normal total hour amounts (more during the weekend, at night, etc). It also covers any benefits from minimum wage I prefer advocating for Uber getting less % than forcing Uber to hire everyone and destroying cheap and convenient transportation Cut Uber profits but don't force outdated labor rules on something that relies on cheapness to thrive Driving for Uber isn't a career and shouldn't be legislated as one
