To give you some insight. I have riders that pay $24 for a ride. I get $6. $60 for a ride. I get $18. $40 for a ride. I get $11 Riders are paying extraordinary prices. Drivers are receiving peanuts.
Exactly what's happening. That's why Uber has a growing profit rate ... They officially flipped the script and now they are the ones making money. Uber and Lyft drivers should just quit driving all together until it's profitable to do so. Continuing to work for the apps is just not very smart and not worth anyone's time anymore.
@@abc123lov7 I agree 100%. I’m gonna drive for about another 3 weeks to get some things paid. This is my part time job, for me it was never meant as a long term gig. I have done it for 3 months going on 4 and I’m out. Either way it did serve its purpose for me. But I feel bad for the folks doing it full time, ride share will not be fixed any time soon. It will eventually be regulated by the government and turn into taxis again.
I live in Las Vegas. This makes no sense because rides shares in this city are so expensive. Tomorrow I go to the airport to travel for a few days. It’s cheaper for me to drive to the airport, and park my car at the airport for four days, than it is to take an Uber there and back. Clearly, these rideshare companies are gouging their drivers. Edit: It's actually cheaper to park your car at Harry Reid Airport for 7 days @ $18 per day, which equals $126, and drive there and back than it is to take a rideshare. For me, it's usually around $140 round trip using Uber to the airport (that includes tip). Make that make sense.
Ever since both companies went public on the stock market, the cost for riders has increased 60% while the pay for drivers has declined around 30%. They are now beholden to share holders, and will extract every penny they can, because this is what we allow corporations to do in this country. Meanwhile neither company has claimed profit, therefore they have never paid a single cent of tax
Next time you pay for a ride, ask the driver how much he made off your ride.....I drove a couple from New Orleans to Baton Rouge, which took roughly an hour and 10 minutes. They paid $250 and I got $48. Needless to say I don't drive anymore. They keep doing it cause people are desperate, but if people stood together they would have no choice but to pay them fairly. Lack of unity is the problem, and that goes for many things.
@@dboi4952 Oh I have. I was gouged getting home from Harry Reid one time and charged $100 for a 20-minute ride. Driver told me she got around $30. So, when they say they only take 25%, that's a blatant lie.
Yeah, those companies take 70% of the money. If you’re driving a trip for one hour and the fee of that of is $100, you’ll only get $25. Because that one hour of your work. Those companies say take it or leave it. They don’t force you to drive for them.
As a former Uber/Lift driver of about 6 years, my best advice to others is find something else. If the pay is no longer worth it and you have more grievances than anything else, perhaps its time to rethink your career. I did and found a cushy work-from-home gig, which is far easier than rideshare and I make about the same amount a week as I did with Uber, only I save on repairs, fuel, and oil changes!
If you want to see something real crazy on Uber eats not only the driver is only getting paid a couple of dollars per delivery so no tip = no profit but Uber eats also charges the restaurant 25 percent of the order for “ advertising “ and even with all of that they still claim they can not turn a profit
@@Billy_the_fish1 idk what your experiences have been with taxies but I can honestly say I have never had a good experience additionally cab drivers would have to rent the cabs for 500-1000 a week to who ever holds the taxi medallion which although the medallion market has completely crashed at one time some of them was selling for over a million and was pretty much ran by the mob every individual should be able to earn a living wage as long as he or she is willing and able to go out and work

Lol, instead of sitting around twiddling your thumbs and smelling your farts while you wait for wages to catch up, how about you take charge of your own life and find ways of making more money? Of course you won't. This is Vegas, one huge trailer park of losers.
The owners of Lyft and Uber are living in $14,000,000 mansions in San Francisco .And the top executives of those companies are making high six figure salaries . The drivers are getting hosed .And they have no say in those fees . Uber and Lyft could care less if drivers quit because they know others will take their place .Same thing happens with companies like Instacart . It's a damn shame to because many of those folks enjoy driving .
Gig apps should pay the independent contractor (the driver) $1.70 per mile for the vehicle (or 1 Euro per Km) & at least $0.55 cents (Euros) PER MINUTE for driver's effort. And those rates should run like a stopwatch on the phones on every second & miles driven, separately like a old taxy cab meter. Drivers, Door Dash, Uber, Lyft, Roadie or any Gig app should stop talking about paying/getting hourly pay; unless the vehicle is provided by a Gig app & gas/petrol, maintenance, insurance, etc etc is paid by Uber, Door Dash, Lyft, Roadie etc etc only. So stop bringing the hourly wage to conversation when the vehicle is by an independent contractor. The vehicle should be compensated seperately & the driver should be compensated seperately. Obviously for drivers of New York, California, Boston the rates I suggested should be higher. E.g. per mile $1.90 & per minute $0.80 at least in this inflation, because it's not 2016 now everywhere else other than for Gig workers. ----------- I can understand $18 an hour minimum wage, had Uber supplied THE CAR (their car to driver), gas, maintenance, insurance & etc, etc. This shows Uber, Lyft, Door Dash don't care about car or driver work time. Uber, Lyft, Door Dash should & must pay drivers for their time separately, & pay separate dollar amount for miles/Km driven. E.g. minimum $1.70 per mile ( 1 Euro per Km) & for the drivers time, $ 0.55 cents per minute (0.55 cents Euros per minute). And should run like old taxy cab meter or stop watch on the app of driver & rider. Drivers don't need BS surge, if this old system comes back. If Uber/Lyft/Door Dash don't comes with this, someone should start a new app ASAP & publish it on Apple's app store & Google's play store, that's the only way destroy these scum of the earth companies. And by the way, Uber/Lyft/Door Dash's cut should not be between 35% to 85% of what the customer (or rider) pays, their cut should be maximum 1%. In that way, if a driver earns/makes $2,000 dollars per week, then those scum company makes $20 per pay week (& $80 for the month). Lets assume driver makes again 2,000 per week for next 3 weeks of the month too, that means, the scum companies make $80 dollars from just one driver for a month. That's way more than what Netflix ($15.49) charges from one consumer, or what Spotify makes from 1 consumer ($10.99), Apple TV+ charges ($9.99), RU-vid Premium $13.99/month, & what Amazon charges for Prime per month ($14.99). Now you see how these scum of the Earth--Uber/Lyft/DD/Roadie companies are ripping off the drivers...no need more explanation any more. Where's all this money going, these companies are bullshitting telling everyone that they need more money than Amazon, Apple, Google etc & telling us they are losing money,...BS. If a driver earned $100 then these scum companies pocketed minimum $200 with the current system, & they didn't give a damn about how many miles were driven or how much time driver had to work paying about $0.13 cents per minute. This modern day slavery in the richest country in the world has to stop, & pretty sure it's same in other countries where scum-Uber is operating. Someone, please build an opensource app & let's bankrupt these companies ASAP.
@@amzarnacht6710still the driver gets $7 for a three mile ride?! If you’re getting $7 for three miles why are you complaining that’s more than a gallon of gas and you should be able to take a few clients with that $7 in gas so whatever else they are making off rides is profit
In order to be considered supplemental income there has to be a profit. The vast majority of markets show, in the aggregate driver data, that drivers, on average, are offered trips that sum to a net negative adjusted gross income. These apps don’t “supplement” income in the aggregate data, they’re net negative, totally unprofitable.
If you drive for any rideshare, you’re literally cashing out the value of your car and running it into the ground while driving around random strangers.
After 3000 rides and almost 5 years, I have pretty much quit doing Lyft as a side gig. What has happened in the last few years is Uber/Lyft have figured out just how low of a ride payout they can go where some desperate driver will accept. 2 years ago, the same 90 mile ride I do frequently would pay almost $90. Now, the same drive pays about $60. Meanwhile, passengers are paying MORE so they are less inclined or able to tip. Drivers really need to do the math of what they get paid verses the time they spent driving around and waiting, factor the fuel and wear and tear and the depreciation that putting tens of thousands of miles on your car per year does, you're barely breaking even or, on some rides, are actually losing money. Doesn't help that passengers can uses alias or fake photos, making some pickups awkward or unsafe playing the "name game."
When these companies started I said this would lead to their demise! Corporations are always going to look to maximize their profits. They have shareholders and boards of governors to answer to as to why the stock price isn’t moving. They always forget they need people to generate the revenue, and when you screw your people then you’re really screwing your self. Too bad that people are so reliant on this they’ll never have a labor shortage.
The Uber driver wouldn't be complaining if Ubers cut was only 20% trust me Ubers taking way more than 20% they're definitely not going to be transparent with the community
Lot of us in Houston, Texas, are quitting ride-sharing, because it just doesn't pay enough to justify all of the expenses. Uber and Lyft just keep too much of the profit for themselves.
First they destroyed taxi business now they cannibalism their own employees. People need to stop helping these companies getting rich while they suffer . Go do taxi.
Not only the low wages, what I'm noticing with both Uber and Lyft, they're making drivers waste gas because the maps being used likes taking them in circles or taking the longer way to get to your destinaton.
So they want the employees to pay for their insurance. No wonder why these people are complaining, a service fee is really a made up fee to pay Uber insurance. Like when you work for a big taxi company and their deductible is 6000~8000 dollars for their insurance so they make you pay for it. So it doesn’t take their profit. People stop working for these corporations. Go do taxi at least your car won’t break down.

Uber is looking into driverless cars. What's that tell you? Technology paid for by Uber drivers. I would suggest an Uber driver to stop driving for Uber, but it might be to late. The company might survive without drivers.
The rideshare companies didn't answer the question. They're sticking more and more of a burden on the drivers. Taxi companies are more regulated than this. At some point, drivers will realize that they're making less than minimum wage and even losing money. What then?
I realized that six years ago when it was below a dollar a mile, noticing how much riders were paying vs how much I was getting. Just turned off the apps and deleted them.
I do Uber in Oregon, and the Drivers that except lowball offers are whats stripping our pay. Decline orders that do not make sense financially, and they'll have to up our pays. I drive during g surge times (like during the ice storm we just had) and pay was through the roof. But unfortunately there are too many drivers willing to accept chump change for their time, effort, and depreciation of their vehicle, which tells Uber that we are willing to be wage-slaves.
The sad part is that new drivers don't understand how to think and drive like a veteran driver. New drivers really think that having high ratings matter, like it's going to help them with better pay and better rides. The truth is that no matter how high your ratings are, you will still get $2-5 offers. But, if new and old drivers think and drive the same, then maybe Independent Contractor drivers can get paid more. I say, every city, every state, log off every 30 minutes until there's a surge. At the airports, don't accept a ride unless it's $20 and up. "NO EXCEPTION!"
I'm in the Northwest too but the problem is if you turn down too many rides Uber doesn't let you know where the passenger is going so you can't even calculate how much you're going to make. If you get a good acceptance rate and they reward you with being able to see where you're taking the passenger it defeats the purpose if they punish you for turning down a 10 mi drive to drive somebody 1 mile. Right now I'm doing mostly left because they don't really care about Acceptance rate. Lyft is pretty corrupt too though.
Uber doesn’t charge service fees of $300 per week she’s making that up. I challenge any of these drivers to drive 12 hours in Vegas, taking every ride or until the app kicks them off and share with us how much they really make. Most of these people who are complaining probably work 1 or 2 hours a day. Try 12- 16 hours for 30 days and tell us what you are getting.
When I went to Vegas before the f1 event. I called a uber from the airport to our Airbnb its was $23 he said he only got. $11 off that ride. I was lost for words
No one wants to drive a taxi, but loves being a uber driver that pays nothing also but at least with a taxi your not wearing out your car and when you car is stuffed you cant work.
Lyft takes is 70% these companies are robbing the driver and rider. Rider pays 30 bucks driver gets 7 bucks. Thank you for reporting this struggle us drivers are having Ch 8
I ride ubers about 15 times a week here in Vegas and I ask drivers how much the make very often, or they talk about how much they make. That's why this video is surprising to me. Most drivers I ride with are telling me they make 30-50 per hour here in Vegas.
I tell friends that drive for Instacart, Uber, lyft, etc that its not worth it. The miles you put on your car, oil, maintenance, tires, fuel, etc etc. You are losing money or making less than min wage. People like the atonomy of not having a boss or being told when they have to show up for work. I dont think the trade off is worth it. These gigs jobs are best as a side hustle for a few extra bucks.
My experience in CA is with prop 22 and we somehow get lower fares overall and make less than before the prop 22 . It's a real grind to make 100$ profit it never used to be like that .
Like every job, if the job you're working is not paying enough, do yourself a favor and change career. I know it's hard to change, but you must do what is best for you and your loved ones.
They are just lazy as fuck and make dozens of excuses.They could literally fill out job applications for an entire week and land a real job but their lazy ass refuses to.So let them be poor and suffer...not my problem.
Thats crazy. The greed from some of these companys. They use their cars and put the gas in but because the ride was booked using an app they have the right to make more then the owner operator. That doesn't add up.
that’s reason why never worked for Uber or Lyft , how I’m supposed make money when I’am the one driving my own car 🚗 putting miles and tires 🛞 and everything it makes no sense too me at all 😂😂
I drive for Uber and I am not having ANY problems whatsoever AND I make good money. Proper customer service and a fun attitude will get you tips. If you drive on the strip or wait in the airport lot you are wasting your time. All these comments saying get a real job?? This IS a real job, when you treat it the way it should be treated by doing it correctly. I hear the horror stories from a lot of passengers about crappy drivers with terrible attitudes...who complain about no tips...HMM!
@@joconnell8145 personally I do not drive Uber but I have close friends who does. He drive 5 to 7 hours a day it’s depends until he made his daily money and that’s it his happy. People wanted to be rich doing this you just have to learn how to live below your means. Have a nice day and be save🙏🙂
What are you, the "there is no such thing as a person making a living from jobs which I deem cannot be done full-time"? And... wtf is "Pepperidge Farms"? More importantly, what does it have to do with anything?! That's as utterly non-sequitur as it can get.
I stopped driving any "contracting jobs" that involve me using my own vehicles. If you do your math homework properly, you lose $ after tax, maintenance, and everything in between. The corporations are preying on people who are desperate. This practice has been stopped.
The name "ride share" says it all. Ride sharing means you are going somewhere and giving someone a ride to offset the costs. If you are taking people to places you otherwise wouldn't go to then you are running a taxi service. In the first case, you don't need to make a profit. In the second case, profit is the only reason for doing it.
Every time wages go up, so does the cost of living… Minimum wage can go to $50 per hour and they will still be broke. $35 cheeseburgers $100k for a honda civic $750,000 for a 1000 sq ft house.
@@aye_yo_mick if only it was that simple but essentially and historically it has worked that way. Its about supply vs demand and an ever increasing wage is not healthy for the economy. Do you really think corporations will give up their net so that people can have more money? No. If they have to pay more in wages they just offset the cost and deliver that increase to the consumer. Its a vicious cycle. People who keep demanding higher wages for the same or less output live in an alternate reality and it simply does not work like this.
The sad part is that new drivers don't understand how to think and drive like a veteran driver.

I paid approximately $30 to Uber from Las Vegas Airport to the Strip. The waiting time varied, typically around 10 minutes, depending on the time of arrival. Considering my experience, I am considering using a taxi for future trips.
Taxi cabs in Vegas have a fixed rate from different “zones” along the strip that are between $21 - $29, plus $2 fuel surcharge, credit card fees, and tip. So I bet sometimes the taxi is a cheaper rate
I find it interesting that those that complain about rideshare driving forget that this is a voluntary job. It's supposed to be an alternative or a fill in the gaps job. If you're not happy driving find another job.
What do you expect when you get the “Oakland Raiders & the Oakland A’s”?? Stop taking All of California’s Sports Teams!! Unless you want more & more California fans to move to NV. Simple!
Uber/Lyft costs should be fixed. Each active driver should pay the same amount every week, whether they give 20 rides or 120 rides. When I drove for Lyft a couple of years ago, it seems they were always keeping 45% or more every week.
11 dollars for a 42 minute drive. Lets say it was ~10 miles, just hypothetically. If between ~waiting for ride offer, driving to where went to wait and driving back there after ride, and also if including driving to place where picked up rider from then it likely come in closer to an hour on "stand-by" and or in the act of facilitating the giving of the ride, which people are often paid for in a sense in employee type situations. For example pizza hut employee waiting for orders to come in etc., still getting paid, is "on the clock" etc. per se. Hence may be safe to round this off to about an hour's worth of time/"labor" on part of first driver. If the ride was ~10 miles then we can, according to IRS calculate the "cost" for "average car/car owner" to come in at 5 usd +. Hence as I have found myself often times with these apps. this guy, first guy interviewed, actually "made" something like ~5 dollars an hour if even that, after costs. This is before tax as well. Tax is based on depreciated amount n general hence lets say ~5 us. Tax is often 10 to ~15% for "self employed" in general(who knows what the rest of his tax situation is, if is in a higher tax bracket from other sources of income overall may even be higher(the tax rate)). Hence now we are down to less than 5 dollars after taxes, something like 4-5 dollars. Hence after roughly estimated costs and taxes this guy in the first video made ~4 dollars or less, an hour or thereabouts. If people want to make Uber investors and executives rich for ~ 4-7 or so usd an hour at times, then that is up to them obviously, but obviously this is not really a feasible job for most people to do. There are time when may make more than this, but that this situation(making so little money relatively speaking) is possible, that it is possible to make so little in this gig, perhaps speaks to how both the customer and the company are in effect perhaps exploiting, and or facilitating the exploitation of the driver.
Dear passenger , next time you order Uber/Lyft don’t be surprised if the driver ask you to cancel the trip and pay with cash , PayPal , Zelle , cash app or venmo , Ube/Lyft are scamming the passengers and drivers , thanks for your cooperation and understanding, ohh by the way you can get a better deal by negotiating with the driver and removing the middle men
Joe ! , thats terrible ! the wages for many positions for the working people in Vegas is the Worst !! this town RUNS on the backs of these people , & they gotta live in CRAP places in town , just to Sqeeze by!
I was a cab driver before all of this started 90's! Whine, whine, whine! WAH,WAH,WAH! I had to get a chauffer's license, background check, urine test. Just to work for someone who owned a cab company! UBER/LYFT/ALL others deserve no sympathy! Driving drunks, rude people, and any other passengers isn't easy. You're like a rolling bartender! Except you have your back to them! I've been threatened, taxed, thanked, appreciated, and often tipped. NOW this next gen driver, cry, cry, cry. You use your personal insurance, and lie that you don't drive others around! RAISING THE RATES FOR ALL OF US! I hope you enjoy your futures! AND because of all of this, those companies have put a great bunch of other businesses, and people out of work for some institutionalized entitled bunch of maggots! I will not drive people around in my personal car, ever! Only my family or friends. Taxpayers deserve to shut these systems down, just like they ran validated and professional drive services, owners, and drivers OUT OF BUSINESS! Why do you people think you deserve better treatment; than what you did to others? Eye 4 an eye as I recall! Good riddance.
It's the elites you should direct your anger at, not working class drivers. The Uber executives are the ones who made the decisions to screw professional drivers over. The CEO of Uber Dara Khosrowshahi has earned over 120 million dollars running the company like a sociopath and screwing thousands of people over just like you to get a bigger bonus. He lives in a 20 million dollar mansion and is the direct cause of countless people who are now homeless or struggling to pay bills and many more like you who had to change jobs, just so a few ultra wealthy shareholders and executives could make a few extra million dollars. The elites want us working class people to blame each other and spend millions to keep us divided and thinking it's another group of working class people's fault for our problems when it's always the 1% who's really pulling the strings and enriching themselves. We must not stay distracted blaming each other and stand together and demand an end to these rich assholes hoarding all our money and paying us pennies and an end to the rigged system that encourages and rewards that behavior. Kindness and love are always the answer my friend. Many of today's drivers are the very same kind of workers as you were when you started driving, they're just forced to work with the system that exists now, and many would probably be professional taxi drivers, licenced and piss tested and everything, if those were the available jobs. I know I would gladly prefer that. It's not the driver's fault the elites have screwed everyone over and made the job so much worse. Dara is the greedy piece of shit you need to hate, we are on the same side brother✌️
The people with these negative comments ,haven't got a clue what their talking about. Juat words to justify their vile behavior. If your such a baller why are you taking an uber x? Where's your limo hot shot? The whole thing is an exploitation game , feom corporate to ant and everything in-between.
so the same group that put half the taxi drivers out of business is now complaining they cannot make a living. what goes around comes around. that being said, the rideshare companies definitely are overly greedy
..and there is no governmental or legal entity in Las Vegas that is doing their jobs to help these folks. No one from the Nevada Transportation Board/Authority, Mayor, or Governor's office has shown the decency or respect for these drivers by creating a driver-led union or driver-led & power-wielding control & oversight board. There's no where for these drivers to have their complaints fielded, documented, addressed, and corrected to their satisfaction (so thank you for this, 8 News Now). They're not employees, but U/L dictates employment terms to them which is a violation of the arrangement & of the law. California, New York, and other states have gotten it right with U/L & drivers are paid better & respected. But Nevada is so slow, disconnected, unconcerned, lackadaisical, apathetic, ignorant, & so far behind the curve & the drivers suffer. They simply do not have respect for them & just do not want to give them a voice. I've seen the many ways in which U/L absolutely rob their drivers & it's discussed here. I mean, SIXTY to SEVENTY of the fares?!?!? What more proof do you need, Lombardo? Unacceptable. It's wrong to see hard workers that our economy depends upon mistreated like this, & it's infuriating.
The audacity of Uber making statements does not mean what they educatedly say is true. They have lowered the pay to people over the years. 60% when a person is using their personal car is a ripoff. There’s no transparency at this point after wear and tear and gas you are making 4, dollars a ride while they charge 40~45 how does that make any sense? People find something better to do, these people are the reason why taxi drivers also lost huge profits. Stop helping billionaires get richer while you suffer.
the first place i ever did rideshare was vegas. it saved me from homelessness because i rented the car and slept in it for a while. i have since done rideshare throughout the country and vegas was the toughest market.
Smells like a Countrywide Class Action Lawsuit in the making. You should be able to visually see a “Breakdown fee” with the Uber Driver and client. Does cost more than $1-2 per ride for Insurance fees plus they don’t tell you Uber doesn’t offer Rental Reimbursement if you are ever in a car accident you could be without a job and no car waiting 2-3 months for a parts and Labor shortage at the body shop
Taxi are cheaper to go up and down the strip …plus flat rates from and to the airport and more convenient every time I’m in Vegas I take taxis and I’m here all the time…….
@@whoknows2054 That's why I said "if you can": sometimes they are not feasible like in the two examples you mentioned. There are other bus routes you can take if you know your way around. If you use a taxi, keep track of your route because many drivers cheat you by taking longer routes. Flat-rate pricing only applies between the airport and the strip.
Crazy thing I do uber and Lyft in New York and you can make 2 to 3 k weekly😂😂😂😂😂😂I made 144k last years as a Uber driver…I guess I’m not moving anymore to Las Vegas
that is called a scam we only take 20% now we want more and it is not in your contract so I can take more from my driver up to 75% and still bill them for our insurance/coke/meth.
I work all night, I work all day To pay the bills, I have to pay Ain't it sad? And still there never seems to be A single penny left for me That's too bad In my dreams, I have a plan If I got me a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work at all I'd fool around and have a ball Money, money, money Must be funny In a rich man's world Money, money, money Always sunny In a rich man's world Oh-oh-oh-oh All the things I could do If I had a little money It's a rich man's world It's a rich man's world. WELCOME TO AMERICA 🇺🇸..
When I started this job drivers received 80% (fixed) of the fares. Now we get about 40% (less when there is surge pricing). But Uber and Lyft aren't getting 60%, only 20%. 40% goes to the government in the form of all sorts of new taxes that have been added in the last few years. It’s a below minimum wage job now for drivers. If passengers tip more Uber and Lyft will just respond by paying drivers less. This industry needs to be made a public utility again.
