Is driving for Uber worth the wear and tear and mileage on my car?
comments
At some point, they'll have to switch to self driving cars or they'll run out of drivers who can't do math.
I usually ask drivers how long they've been driving for their respective ride share platform, most of them have been on it for less than three to six months. If you have such a distribution of driver tenure duration, then it's either driver base growth or unsustainable churn. Considering the amount of incentives Uber and Lyft put in for drivers, my educated guess is the second.
Imagine working whenever you want to during the day, or night. Imagine working whereever you want to. Hit the beach, then work near the beach. Imagine taking a vacation whenever you want to. Imagine working in whichever city you are vacationing in, if you wish to.
It takes some effort to make it a full time job. You have to work enough hours to hit the bonus targets and know when and where to drive.
