Drivers often post screenshots of trips with Uber take rates >50%. THIS IS NOT A RARITY. For a driver profiled in analysis below, 1/3 of UberX 2024 rides had Uber take rates >50%. Over 40% of Black & Comfort were >50%. @Uber @TheRideshareGuy @DriversC2C len-sherman.medium.com/will-…
“Upfront pricing has thus given Uber considerable ‘wiggle room’ to maximize profits by algorithmically adjusting prices and pay on every trip for reasons that are opaque to riders and drivers. Uber exploits this flexibility to increase its profits at rider and driver expense.”
I posted an article on Medium today showing how algorithmic pricing has substantially increased Uber’s profits at rider and driver expense. Other companies are rapidly moving in this direction, which warrants public policy review. @uber @therideshareguy len-sherman.medium.com/will-…

A @driversunion_wa study reveals that Uber's cut of Seattle fares has skyrocketed to 35%, costing more for riders while drivers see few gains. Restoring the 20% cap would cut fares 19%—proof drivers’ advocacy, not Uber’s take, protects riders and workers.

Uber is bilking Seattle riders and blaming the city’s minimum pay standard—even though the company’s own greed is to blame.
“The amount Uber retained on each trip has increased more than twice as fast as driver pay.”

Great new report from @
“From 2019-2024, the average amount that Uber retained from rider fares skyrocketed from $4.69 per trip to $13.06—a 178% increase.”
