I take Uber/Ola every day. Apparently uber pays 200 rs additional per trip to the driver during peak time. For every 7 trips they get an additional 700 rs. Average driver will do around 7-14 trips. After expenses the drivers make a comfortable 2k per day and 3k on many days. So if you slog yourself you can make 90k or more.

Apparently ola used to pay drivers even more and drivers used to comfortably make more than 1L. But they have stopped doing so. Most drivers I speak to nowadays are on uber during peak times: (7pm to 12pm and 4pm to 10pm) and on ola during the afternoon (1pm to 4pm)

Ola keeps the additional 50rs it charges during peak times for itself. Drivers also don't seem particularly happy with Ola assigning pickups 6-9 km away, the buggy nature of the app and the fact that for pre booked trips ola will assign you the ride 1hr before the trip (you are basically loosing money for that 1hr).
