🚨 50 MILLION RIDES. ONE BIG QUESTION. 🚨
A report from the UCLA Labor Center analyzed nearly 50 million NYC rides — and the findings confirm what many drivers have felt for years…

Watch here: https://youtu.be/UM_Fpa5FJXs

📈 Passengers are paying more.
📉 Drivers are earning less per trip.
💰 Platforms are keeping a bigger share.
Between 2019 and 2022, companies like Uber and Lyft increased their take rate — even in one of the most regulated markets in the country: New York City.
So what’s really going on behind the algorithm?
In this video, I break down:
• What the study actually found
• How take rates have changed
• Why drivers feel busier — but not richer
• What this could mean for YOUR market
• And whether the algorithm is quietly shifting the balance
This isn’t a rant.
This isn’t speculation.
This is data from millions of real trips.
If this is happening in NYC… what’s happening where you drive?

In this video, I break down how drivers go private and build a real chauffeur business — keeping 100% of fares, setting their own rates, and landing premium airport & event clients.
If you want more money per ride, less app dependence, and a real exit strategy from rideshare… this is for you.

Most Uber drivers argue $/mile vs $/hour…
But there’s a 3rd way that almost no one talks about 👀
Instead of chasing mileage or time, some drivers only accept high-paying offers ($15–$20+ per trip).
Fewer rides.
Less stress.
More control.
👉 In this video, I break down price-targeting:
• Why $/mile & $/hour can be misleading
• When longer, higher-pay trips actually win
• The risks of ignoring small pings
• How this fits Uber’s current algorithm
Question:
Would you rather do 15 strong trips or 30 average ones in a shift?

Making $300+ a day driving Uber or Lyft is possible — but it’s not random and it’s not luck.
It comes down to understanding demand, choosing the right trips, and having a clear plan before you ever go online.
Some days it’s events, some days it’s airports, and some days it’s simply knowing what not to accept.
If you’ve hit $300+ before, share what worked for you.
If you haven’t yet, this is proof that it can be learned.

I encourage drivers to copy this email template to contact their Senator & Representatives and encourage them to support this Bill. If you have not seen the Video, take the time to watch the video about the Bill. It could be a game changer for all of us.


Dear Senator/Representative,

My name is YOUR NAME HERE, and I am a rideshare driver and content creator who educates gig workers about pay, transparency, and platform policies that directly affect their livelihoods.

I am writing to urge you to support the Empowering App-Based Workers Act (S.2488). App-based workers deserve clear, enforceable standards around pay transparency, algorithmic decision-making, and access to basic information about how our work and compensation are determined.

As a driver, I have seen how opaque “fees,” pay adjustments, and algorithmic changes can materially reduce earnings with little explanation or recourse. These practices create confusion, mistrust, and financial instability for workers who rely on these platforms as a primary or supplemental income source.

The Empowering App-Based Workers Act is an important step toward:

* Greater transparency in pay calculations and fees
* Fair access to information affecting work opportunities
* Protections against arbitrary or unexplained platform decisions

These protections do not eliminate flexibility — they strengthen fairness and accountability while preserving the independent nature of app-based work.

I respectfully ask that you review and support this legislation and consider the real-world impact platform opacity has on millions of workers across the country.

Thank you for your time and for representing the interests of working Americans. I would welcome the opportunity to provide additional insight from the perspective of active drivers and content creators in this space.

Sincerely,
YOUR NAME
Rideshare Driver

🚨 IMPORTANT NEWS FOR UBER & LYFT DRIVERS 🚨
A new bill in Congress called the Empowering App-Based Workers Act, introduced by Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, could have a major impact on driver pay, protections, and the future of gig work.
This legislation is aimed at giving app-based workers more leverage — including the ability to organize, negotiate pay standards, and push back against inconsistent earnings. For Uber and Lyft drivers who’ve seen pay fluctuate wildly for the same trips, this bill could be a big deal.
But there are also big questions:
Will this actually lead to higher driver pay?
Could Uber and Lyft change how they operate to protect profits?
Does this help drivers — or create new risks?
I just released a video breaking everything down in plain language, including why drivers need to educate themselves NOW, before decisions are made without our input.

Do you support the Empowering App-Based Workers Act, or do you think it could backfire for drivers?

Why Uber and Lyft Have Such Inconsistent Driver Pay — Even for the Same Ride
If you’ve been driving for Uber or Lyft for any amount of time, you’ve probably noticed something frustrating:
driver pay is wildly inconsistent.
You can run the same trip, same mileage, same pickup point, same drop-off, and even at the same time of day — and somehow the pay can change from minute to minute or driver to driver. Two drivers sitting in the same parking lot can receive completely different earnings offers for the exact same ride.
So what’s going on? Let’s break down why this happens.
1. The Algorithm Prices Each Driver Differently
Uber and Lyft no longer use a flat rate per mile + per minute system.
They use upfront pricing algorithms, and these systems can adjust pay based on:
local demand at that exact second
which drivers are closest
driver acceptance habits
predicted driver availability
rider price sensitivity
how recently you declined trips
whether Uber thinks you’re likely to accept a lower price
Because every driver has a unique profile, every driver can be offered different pay for the exact same ride.
2. Pricing Changes Every Single Minute
Upfront fares are dynamic and refresh constantly.
This means:
10:01 AM: Ride pays $8.75
10:02 AM: Ride pays $10.20
10:03 AM: Ride pays $7.40
Nothing changed except the algorithm’s prediction models.
Time, distance, and route? Exactly the same.
The only difference is the moment the offer was generated.
3. Surge Is No Longer Transparent
Old surge (multiplier) was predictable and tied to demand.
New “surge zones” and “busy areas” shift every few seconds and don’t always apply the same boost to every driver.
Two drivers can be:
in the same parking lot
inside the same surge zone
…and still be offered different surge bonuses.
This leads to huge pay gaps between drivers running identical rides.
4. Uber & Lyft Test Prices on Drivers
Both companies run constant A/B tests to see:
how low drivers are willing to work
how price changes affect acceptance rates
how high they can charge riders
how much they can reduce driver pay without harming completion rates
That means your pay can shift hourly while the app quietly tests new pricing strategies.
5. Driver Pay Is Not Linked to Rider Price
One of the biggest issues is that the rider price has no direct connection to what the driver earns.
Example:
Rider pays $28
Driver earns $11.75
Tomorrow:
Same rider, same trip: $22
Driver earns $14.10
The driver can earn more even when the rider pays less — and earn less when the rider pays more.
This is because Uber’s model is based on predicted supply and demand, not a consistent mileage formula.
6. Drivers Don’t See the True Formula
The companies keep the real formula hidden, and it changes constantly.
Without transparency, drivers only see the end result:
The same trip can pay 30–60% more or less depending on:
the time the offer is sent
who receives the offer
surge behavior
incentive cycles
algorithmic tests
driver “willingness to work” patterns
To drivers, it looks chaotic — because it is.
7. Incentives + Quests Make Pay Look Even More Uneven
If you are in the middle of:
a quest bonus
a streak
a guaranteed earnings promotion
…the algorithm may lower your base pay because the bonus will “make up for it.”
Drivers without promotions receive different pay for the same rides.
So Is It “Fair”?
Most drivers agree the answer is no.
While dynamic pricing helps Uber and Lyft remain profitable, the lack of transparency:
confuses drivers
lowers trust
makes earnings unpredictable
encourages drivers to multi-app or stop driving altogether
What Drivers Can Do
You can’t control the algorithm, but you can control your strategy:
multi-app to avoid being trapped by one app
decline low-paying trips consistently
know your market’s best hours
avoid short trips unless bonuses apply
target high-demand pickup zones
track your pay per mile and per hour
And most importantly:
don’t fall for the manipulation of accepting every ride.
Final Thoughts
The inconsistency drivers see is not a glitch — it’s the system working exactly as designed.
Uber and Lyft adjust pay in real time based on prediction models, not simple mileage formulas.
That’s why two drivers in the same spot can receive completely different earnings for the same trip.
