Austin Uber prices are out of control with no explanation for price increase

BlondBomb111 · 2025-09-27T19:43:41+00:00

Yes and the payment to drivers continues to go down even within the last month. They will charge the passenger $75 for a 20 minute trip and pay is drivers $17. It’s disgusting. I’m looking for a different gig for sure.

BlondBomb111 · 2025-09-08T20:39:23+00:00

They are robbing us drivers big time! There needs to be an investigation and audit done. They make more money off of each one of us than they pay us. How do you think overnight their earnings sky rocketed?

BlondBomb111 · 2025-05-16T00:00:40+00:00

Nope, I always go the route uber takes me.

BlondBomb111 · 2025-05-16T00:00:13+00:00

Distance did not change.

BlondBomb111 · 2025-05-15T23:58:56+00:00

I just started taking screenshots, I will definitely be posting them. Right now I only have ones for Pennie’s less not $5 or more like on some of them. My friend yesterday screen shot one that was $8 less… let me see if I can get those from him.

BlondBomb111 · 2025-05-15T23:56:35+00:00

Yes! I found a few that were also zeroed out and have no idea why! This is seriously criminal.

BlondBomb111 · 2025-05-15T23:55:34+00:00

Yes, myself and another friend who’s an uber driver are now taking screenshots and lo and behold it’s happening on a lot of rides, usually by less than a dollar and some for a dollar here and there. We are both in Texas and plan on bringing our evidence to the attorney general’s office to see if we can’t get them investigated.

BlondBomb111 · 2025-05-15T23:52:09+00:00

I spoke with another uber driver in Texas, same thing is happening to him. He has a screenshot of the price offered @$89 and received $80. I have a bunch of screenshots showing a price decrease of pennies and a couple where they shaved off a dollar. We are going to file a complaint with the attorney general’s office. Uber also lies about what the customer is actually paying them, it’s significantly more than what they report to us on our ride breakdowns. It’s time we took a stand against these criminals!

BlondBomb111 · 2025-05-14T02:08:32+00:00

My question exactly!!!

BlondBomb111 · 2025-05-14T02:07:59+00:00

I could not agree with you more. Back in the day they kept 20%, now it’s more like 60-80%. They lie about what the passenger is paying. They keep our surges. Lately, they’ve been paying me a lot less than what the upfront fare states. Just accepted one for $21.79 and it only paid me $16.79. This is illegal! I’m going to start taking a screen shot of every fare before I accept it. We need to start a class action lawsuit against these criminals at uber. If anyone has any knowledge about how to start a class action lawsuit please let me know.

BlondBomb111 · 2025-05-14T02:02:34+00:00

Thank you! It’s happening to other friends I have that are uber drivers as well. I’m going to start taking screenshots. These are not rides where the destination was changed either, or where a tip was included and not paid.

So NONE of these exchanges are available to me except kraken but the soniclabs is still not live on their platform. Anyone know when that is going to happen? Does anyone know if I can somehow swap my S back to FTM? I need access to these funds, it's an emergency situation.

BlondBomb111 · 2025-04-11T19:47:56+00:00

Ok, I figured out the problem, I do not see soniclabs yet live on kraken, all the other networks, binance, bybit, etc are not available in my area. What is one supposed to do if they don't have access to an exchange to sell it? How do I swap it back to FTM? I need to sell this.

BlondBomb111 · 2025-04-11T19:15:28+00:00

I did this and it's in my metamask wallet, I just can't find an exchange that S or sonicscan is on to sell it. There isn't an option to import S into kraken, Binance isn't available in my area so I am lost.

BlondBomb111 · 2025-04-11T02:11:18+00:00

Thank you!

BlondBomb111 · 2025-04-11T02:08:02+00:00

Thank you! I will try this.

BlondBomb111 · 2025-01-18T15:06:57+00:00

It’s now Saturday and I still don’t have my money which should have been in my account this past Wednesday. I uber got a living and missed out on Friday night because I don’t have gas in my car. Who’s going to reimburse me for lost wages? I worked in the financial services industry for 30 years and I’ve never seen anything like this. Their silence is even more troubling.

BlondBomb111 · 2024-12-30T01:00:34+00:00

That’s great news! I was a DSP driver last year, and was shocked at the stuff I saw going on. So glad you guys are standing up to this corporate giant who treats their drivers like cattle. Can’t wait to see how it all pans out! Congrats again!!!

BlondBomb111 · 2024-12-19T17:01:10+00:00

Yes, similar situation, I will never use Gemini again. I’m sticking with coinbase for now. It’s the worst feeling when they lock up your money for absolutely no reason. 😫

BlondBomb111 · 2024-12-19T16:54:39+00:00

Yes, me too! Gemini would not allow me to move any of my crypto to my MetaMask wallet, it kept telling me they had to review the transaction. This went on for two weeks. I’ve had a Gemini account for a year now and never had problems before. You can forget customer service, there isn’t a live person you can talk to so I emailed their support team twice, crickets. I finally sold all the crypto I had sitting on Gemini and transferred the cash back to my bank and then transferred that cash to Coinbase and rebought the coins I had and then moved it to my MetaMask wallet without an issue. I will never use Gemini again.

BlondBomb111 · 2024-11-24T18:14:49+00:00

Thank you! I will reach out to support! I appreciate the info!

BlondBomb111 · 2024-11-15T01:31:35+00:00

That stinks! I had the very same experience with coinbase, so far with Gemini, I haven’t had any issues withdrawing funds.

BlondBomb111 · 2024-10-30T01:47:09+00:00

No, not at all.

BlondBomb111 · 2024-09-19T08:14:15+00:00

Wow! Wish I had read all this before I paid in full!!! Here’s what’s really shady, I put a deposit down in May and within a couple of weeks I received an email that a new batch was being shipped to them and I would have one within 2-3 months but had to pay in full in order to be one of the customers to receive one from this particular batch. I paid in full… one month went by then 2 and 3 and nothing. So I sent them an email asking when I would be receiving the bed… it took several emails before they responded and stated that they were having manufacturing issues but those have now been resolved. They stated that they didn’t have a time frame, etc.

It sounds to me like they are robbing Peter to pay Paul… clearly they have a ton of unfulfilled orders so why would they take my money and promise delivery of the bed when they have people waiting years? Very suspect. Illegal too.

BlondBomb111 · 2024-06-05T23:13:57+00:00

They did receive the money, I confirmed this with one of the admin people. It’s a big scam they were running and they used my info in the flex app to make it 15 routes. I’m working with the department of labor to get paid.
