They give a multiplier bonus for the number of rides you do in an day.rightbyte 5y agoWell that explains it. I wonder why the cab companies do that.neom 5y agoIf I had to guess, to get driver to favour uber over lyft etc, so when you open the uber and lyft app and compare, there is always an uber closer. That's just a guess.
