We’ve had a few animated threads on Uber in recent years. I never computed the numbers myself, but when you factor in the fuel costs and vehicle mantenance, I wouldn’t be surprised if the average Uber driver barely makes minimum wage.
Except on ‘flexible pricing’ days (driving drunks home on St. Patricks or New Years days, etc.), I’d be surprised if a lot of them are making more that gas and wear and tear on their cars.
