The prices changed from the 2nd of December it was a week before the grey smoke on the map..a couple months ago they implemented the time on the trip card which makes sense as to why they have changed it 2 a time based payment now. There will never be unity when we all make different amounts of money uber charges us all different amounts so some are happy others aren’t..clever psychological mind warfare they are doing to us..now we’re looking at jobs saying well that’s going to be half hour so I’ll make 20 quid in half hour but from start to finish you drive 19.2 miles..when job is completed unless you stop exactly where you are you have drove 20-22 miles for a 20 pound job..but as I said they are training your mind to think in a different way which is 20 quid made in half hour

[@bowjana8128]

Hmrc arw in for a shock when they see cab drivers are on 7quid a hour

[@teslataxi4546]

How's that going to happen when they see you earnt £40k with Uber last year.

@@teslataxi4546 do you know that some people are paying up to 300 a week to rent their car that’s 13-14k alone in just renting a vehicle..6k on fuel so that’s 20k already without vehicle maintenance costs keep car clean costs etc there’s not much tax to pay after the 12.5k threshold..even if your costs are less than this worse case scenario there’s still not much tax to pay

[@teslataxi4546]

£300 a week What type of car is that. @@danormal1707

[@teslataxi4546]

What idiots are paying £20k a year to run a PHV on Uber? @@danormal1707

[@d8568]

Has anyone seen the new dashboard? It tracks harsh braking speeding etc, also says in the help section that uber shares the data with law enforcement

[@francis3221]

It’s getting that bad we will all end up with delta or alpha

[@d8568]

@ going back on alpha me, leg Uber! working with the plod was the final straw.

Merry Christmas everyone first. Matty i had a safety issue whit uber and idk how to solve this. In my app every time when i get close to my costumer destination start pop up new trip offers This new offers block my app navigator and i have to touch the phone driving. After i switch from uber navigator to google navigator my confirmation rate drop to 18%. My question its lawful for uber to send trip offers when your car its still moving (sometime 50-60mph) and your costumer see you working whit your phone and driving in the same time??? Uber answer was STUPID . They said new trips appear when the car do 4mph like in uk you can use phone on 4 mph

[@driver-matty]

Merry christmas too and soon as you get a job swipe up on the app an click stop all future requests. You wont get any requests until you complete that one.

There already is a ‘ national standard ‘ …. The fact councils add on to that is what causes the problem …. A ‘national standard ‘ as you call it , will water down Manchester not beef up Wolverhampton

[@Ajeudbevefayhsbevshsh]

Done about 1260 last week with uber taking only 4.7%. About 60 quid. I think I cracked it now how to pay less commission

[@driver-matty]
