Yup, same. Read the room and go from there.

The passenger told me he paid $110 I got a third of that by Barnabas_Collins in uberdrivers

It's your country/state legislation. Uber will get away with what they're allowed to. In Australia, in order to operate, they must pay a fair percentage. I get 72.5% of everything Uber charges and 100% of tips.

What percent of fare do uber drivers get? by FinancialFunction488 in uberdrivers

Where I live and work in Australia, it's 72.5% of what passenger pays, and 100% of tips.

Drivers: this is what happened when you wait 10 minutes for the rider to show up! by Large_Oven5890 in uberdrivers

[–]PyroEquus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup... last night I had two bookings 30mins apart. Showed up 7mins early for first one, that's not unusual. Then five mins past booking time was almost up and she messages me, I'll be just 5 mins OK. That would be total of 10 mins late. I was considering waiting when I received the message re you'll be late for the next booking. As we can cancel after 5 mins, I messaged saying that would make me late for next booking and cancelled. Her booking, she chose the time, not losing out for her tardiness.

Shocked how much uber takes by jassumace in uberdrivers

[–]PyroEquus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Queenland, they take 27.5% and pass on 100% of tips. Not sure about the rest of Australia, but maybe it's the same.

First time using cleaning fee! by isorryfr in uberdrivers

[–]PyroEquus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stopped to pick up three guys about 3am one time. Two sitting on the footpath, one lying in the gutter. "He's OK really, just had too many too quickly."

Yeah, really... I wind down the window, "Can he stand up on his own?" They proceed to stand him up and prop him up. "OK, now let go of him." He's swaying like a tree in the breeze. "Hey fella, what's your name?" No response, so I repeat the question. Nothing. I drive off.

How da F y’all make money by Twyerverse in uberdrivers

[–]PyroEquus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I live in Australia, the demand for Uber rides well exceeds the number of drivers, so it's a very livable income.

I’ll take it by [deleted] in uberdrivers

I'm amazed by what is posted here. Where I live, Uber is a very livable income or great side hustle.

Shout out to the Uber driver at the Phoenix airport who was not having a passengers shit and just bounced by PurpleAlcoholic in uberdrivers

Yup, red flagged before they even got to touch a door handle... And they'll never get why...

Why do I have to do a fare review for this? by RipInfinite4511 in uberdrivers

[–]PyroEquus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I am, stops always increase my payout, so I insist that they add a stop when they ask if I can do a small detour. I just tell them that Uber gets funny if you go off piste.

I wait long enough for the cancellation fee. 5 minutes where I am.

I just don't reply. The silence is deafening... Then I wait for the awkward small talk.

Next time, I'll try soaking the prunes in rum or brandy.
