…and for the first time I’m aware Uber is taking over 50% of the cost. I’ve seen a noticeable drop in tips recently probably because of the increased costs of rides or possibly because Uber isn’t forwarding tips. I really couldn’t say. But I took three 18 year olds from a college bar to a very affluent neighborhood last night and they made a big deal about the ride being $70 and I was offered $28 and change for a 32 mile, 35 minute drive. I’ve had two other people complain about how cost tell me how much on long runs and I received well less than half of what they paid. If Uber is charging more for high gas prices for riders they’re not giving the extra cost to the drivers.
