the only time I see 1.00+ per mile here in Dallas is when it is a short trip and the fair is the minimum 3.46, the problem is time in traffic and rider taking 5+ minutes to showup
@DTownDesignsАй бұрын
Yes…same here. I drive in Dallas as well and if there’s not a surge then they pay less than $.80mi and sometimes less than $.65mi. My acceptance rate is less than 10%. I’ve noticed on airport trips they know the ones that are top tippers and they subtract the percentage that they usually would tip from the upfront fare. I don’t even drive as much as I once did anymore. The area is oversaturated with drivers that will accept ANY ride.

@MichaelWhite-yr2eiАй бұрын
I get it with the stinky food. I work only good neighborhoods so I almost never get the pot. I work Dallas and I work the Airport. I don't think it's fair to judge a ethnicity as possible terrorists. As a person of color, my terrorist could be a white male. But I tried to love everyone and stay away from shares although I've had some profitable share rides but the concern that I have is the pickup doesn't tell me where that ride is going to go so if I accidentally take a share ride to the airport from Dallas I don't get the benefit of catching a ride at the airport because I have a Rider going elsewhere which in one case was Fort Worth Texas, and in the other case to a neighborhood where a Uber driver was recently shot. I try to put my head down and make $300 plus and it's few hours as possible my acceptance rate is about 18%

Good job learning. It isn't upfront fares that's causing the reduction. It's you learning what a profitable ride is and not being forced to accept rides to maintain your status that is causing the reduction. I went from $29 an hour before upfront to $47 an hour after. My acceptance rate is 4% Uber and 1% Lyft. I'm in Austin so we have standard and advantage modes which means I do not get routed any work when it's slow. I used to average 38 rides a night for 2 years until standard advantage. Then I went to 41 total completed rides from July 15 to September 5. Now that it's busy again I'm getting work again and now Uber is losing money on the majority of the rides I do for payback.

People, everything comes down to the flooding of the market with labor. Doesn't matter what industry: software, nursing, construction, meatpacking, rideshare, etc.. The goal of capital/management in this economy is to flood the market with labor, crushing wages. And they get all the help they need with help from the politicians of both parties. All the bogus stories of "crops rotting in the fields", "jobs that Americans don't want..." "Americans not motivated enough to handle STEM fields..." All lies. And you have to understand and accept that the biggest factor driving down wages is mass immigration. Oh, know, don't go there. That's raciss. Well, if you want to understand the problem and find a way to a solution you must accept the truth.

Thanks for posting this, because this is so true. I live here in South Florida and I have been driving for Lyft 6.5 years and I’m the same way as You…why should I drive 10 minutes away (6-8 miles) to pick someone up (without pay), to drive them 10 minutes (8 miles) to their drop off location for $5….make it make sense. Needless to say that I’m not in the “GOLD” status anymore because of my acceptance rate has dropped tremendously over the past few months. (I’m still a 5Star driver but they don’t care about that). YES I’d like to pick these passengers up, but not for what I’m getting paid. I recently got my weekly Driver Feedback and I’m still at 5 Stars, and they have the audacity to tell me that I kept 76% of my earnings…immediately contacted Lyft and said (Not when you took from one of my long drives exactly 50% of my pay)..of course they said they’d look into it, never heard back from anyone.

@chillaxinnАй бұрын
My AR is 32% and cancellation rate is 8%. Before upfront fares I rarely declined or cancelled a ride because with time and distance rates I can use quick math to calculate whether or not a trip is worth it. Now its a guessing game with upfront prices. I will take only rides that give me $1.20 or more per mile, but I noticed they are fleecing the riders more too. A short 3 mile trip for a rider can be over $20 here, but the driver only gets $8-11 upfront.

I could never afford to drive my car for less than minimum wage AND traffic really screwed me on a number of days where rides may have been good upfront but when the trip time doubled the adjustment Uber or Lyft made me operate at a loss.

here in the rio grande valley in south texas for Uber, there's no such thing as up front fares. the only thing we see is the trip time AFTER PICK UP!!! we can't see if the pick up is 1 mile or 10 miles from our current location. we don't know how much we're getting paid until after we've completed the trip. as for Lyft, the trips are complete garbage. Lyft has reduced dates for trips. for example, a trip from harlingen international airport to the international bridge in Brownsville is to pay $25-$26 now those same trips pay $17-$18. my acceptance rate for Lyft is 3% and I'm only accepting 3-4 rides a week.

I know it's crazy, but I don't take request into the city that much; they don't really make it worth my wild. I never take airport request anymore because it's not worth it to me with the traffic. I laugh how one ride to the airport, which would maybe 15 min to pick up the rider and over 30-40 min in traffic to the city can only cost maybe $17-$20 in rush hour, I would not take that request, then the next request would give say close to $25 not going towards the city, pick up the person takes 5-10 & taking then to their destination only takes 15 min. And I think it's going away from the city, and no one wants to go that way, why it may would cost more. I don't get it.

I opt for looking at $ per minute avoid or be careful if a long ride (50 mi or greater) looks appealing. I opt for those ~$12 rides that are ~ 6miles and can do in less than 10 min. This ensures I get $1 per minute ($60 per ACTIVE hour). I often get $80 or $120 or more per ACTIVE hour on a trip...cus I know this can and will boil down to $40 to $50 per hr in the end and $25 to $35 online hour and living in the CA bay area this barely does it. I drive an electric car so insurance and payment is higher but I save on gas... So yes I average ~ $40 to $48 per active hour but in the end it's sorta like having a $25 to $35/hr job. Not bad but not great either because of the area and bcus you must work when it's busy so that means doing small shifts 3 to 6 hrs each twice a day. That's not bad but not great either. I cherry pick and $1300 to $1800 per week depending how much I work and that is not good to the cost of living in NOR CAL but it could be worse. I think I'll look for a job with 401k insurance etc and do this part time. Then maybe I can save some dough!!

I can't say what the rate should be (above my pay and think grade) but i believe with all my heart and mind drivers should be paid every mile/time from accepting the ride, going to the rider and then to the destination. A driver would not get pickup pay till he enters (unless he is within that zone already which surrounds the city.) If he is in the city zone and goes a long way out side the zone to pickup, they still qualify for pickup and the trip pay. Trips would need to be completed or within a close distance at riders request to get the entire pay (unless rider canceled or shorten trip, if so drivers still get total pay. Drivers would be required on their part to be 1. In the city zone confines. And 2. Complete the whole trip. If driver cancels or stops trip then pickup pay would become disqualified regardless of the reason. The last rule would prevent drivers from going to get them and just canceling to get pickup pay. Wait pay needs to go higher as well.

For all novel reasons, no one considers there are multiple types of drivers for different types of deliveries, whether it's people or packages (food, prescriptions, groceries, etc.) to match what the driver declares they're delivering. I'm on a bicycle, meaning my range is limited by time and speed. I can only accept what I can reach and do over a certain amount of time. Basically, I can make rates for what a car can drive ($0.66/mile), maybe more, because I can only ride for 1-2 miles at a time each way. My earnings are what drivers wouldn't, couldn't ever accept hence, low acceptance rates for them, higher for me, means those types of deliveries will increase for couriers for me. It will take years, I guess, for it to self-sort, but there was a time I was making 8-10 deliveries per day, averaging $45-$60 daily, now I'm competing with scooters for the same fare...for now.

I would really like if you broke down the difference between what Minneapolis Minnesota did for you to keep Uber in your city. Compared to the way it was prior under the old pay scale system. I would love to hear did you benefit or was this a bust?

I’m at 1% . They send request having me go 7 miles to the pick up and a ride for 2 miles. They only pay for the 2 mile trip. It’s not worth it. I don’t know if these rides really get done.

My AR is 31%. I look at time and $$, don't care about distance. I want so much per minute, I add up the total time trip....time to pick-up then time to drop off, if it doesn't equate to so much per minute then I don't take the trip.

I stopped driving Uber because of lack of upfront info in New Jersey. Guess it's a no win situation either way.

My rate is down because I stopped accepting rides while on a ride due to Uber canceling trips to give to a closer driver. If I’m on a ride my cancellation rate should not be reduced due to me not accepting rides while not free.

It is hard because I am in a driver-saturated market. I have had to start taking more bad drives. My acceptance rate is 50 percent.

I understand why you take the short-distance fares, i do the same with Uber and Lyft. But I am curious why you would take any long-distance fares for only $1 per mile, unless the passenger's destination lands you in a prime ride-hailing location. My new strategy with long-distance Uber/Lyft rides is: only if the pickup is a mile or less away AND the passenger is willing to negotiate/convert and go through my company and pay me directly for the ride through the payment-processing app of their choice. We are allowed to negotiate (contract law). I am not getting stuck in the middle of nowhere just to take somebody home ever again, especially when I am not paid enough from these shit companies to begin with.

My acceptance rate in Texas was 85 I am full time and now 67 so this is bull and I really don't care anymore.

I don't think it's any question that we're getting about 50% or less of the ride total I picked up a guy who paid $44 I received $16.78.

What is really disgusting in Boston is that Uber takes over 50% in certain neighborhoods that are heavy Uber users. They charge these customers more and take more. discrimination is very disturbing.

Can my acceptance rate be at 0 if to pickup is to far or the offers are to low do I get deactivated if it stays 0 for a long time
@chriscampbell2670Ай бұрын
Doesn't make sense why they can't put the estimated distance of the trip on the offer card without having to estimate by time if your platinum status Uber pro. My market is still time and distance if they go upfront pricing I am done.

I've dropped from 95% (2017 thru 2023). I am floating 45-50% all of 2024. I have stretches where I refuse 15 consecutive requests. Yep, quest elimination is my main reason as quest allowed me to cover the bad trip requests.

28% is pretty high. I'm 4% on Uber and 1% on Lyft.

how did you get an uber beacon and a uber tablet with a low acceptance rate?

Uber beacons spy on you. The passenger has a photo of you, your car and your plate. I am not giving those assholes free advertising.
