Hi, who is this? This is Pomegranate. How can I get you today? Well, I wanted to call in, talk about my experience of being an Uber driver.

Oh, okay, how's that experience treating you?

Um, it's a mixed bag.

Okay, tell us, tell us more.

Do you want to know the good part of the bag or the bad part?

I like to start with the bad so that we can end with the good.

Okay, well, Uber doesn't seem to care very much about its drivers and seems to prioritize the

riders, which is like understandable because obviously rider safety is very important, but like often we get the short end of the stick.

Like with pay, we usually make about like half

of what the riders pay, sometimes less.

If we're lucky, maybe more.

Which means the riders end up paying like way out of ass

and we don't really get it and then so like when you when you're already paying like when it's

busy 40 bucks for a ride you're not inclined to tip which I like I get you know, you're paying a lot of money, but it just sucks on my end

because I end up making like 15, 17 bucks out of that, you know?

Right, and is that counting your gas too oh yeah there actually was a fuel

surcharge for when like the fuel prices got all crazy and stuff but they just removed that now but I would

honestly bet money that the riders are still paying that extra like fuel surcharge

but it's just like not telling them anymore but we're

definitely not getting it. And now so so if I get a ride for 40 bucks, you make about 20, or 15 even.

Yeah, 15 to 20 depending. There's like things like searches if it's busy and just like the customer tips I'll probably make a little more but that that seems pretty accurate

Is there a difference between Uber and Lyft with this kind of thing?
