Because someone convinced them to lease or buy on finance a brand new Prius and they need to make payments? That’s where I suspect the exploitation comes in - not the actual Uber usage, but the financial decisions required to get started (eg drive late model car). Vs other apps, they’re all the same give or take a few months.
- perryizgr8 6y agoCan't they just sell the car? It will be a bit if a loss but certainly better than ongoing loss and suffering?
- okareaman 6y agoNot many new drivers have new cars. I don't know how many of them are leasing cars. I've never heard any complaints on any driver groups about being forced to drive to pay off the car.
- 908B64B197 6y agoThe thing is, there's Kelley's Blue Book. A driver can know any day how much his car is worth and figure out the net profits from selling it and not Ubering anymore. There's a paternalistic view of drivers (often non-white and immigrants) as too stupid to know their costs. But really most drivers wouldn't drive if they didn't earn money.
