Everyone I know personally that worked for Uber as their primary income had serious financial problems. The arrangement should not be legal. One of our friends vehicles was mechanically junk after a few years of Uber. Another couldn’t pay her regular bills. They also don’t hold taxes for you and most drivers struggle to prepare for that hitting them with unexpected tax bills. The app creates misleading incentives to keep you on the road during times when it is unsafe to do so. I’m not positive but it sounds like you’re not making much more than minimum wage after you factor in vehicle depreciation and fuel. Gig jobs needed to be regulated a decade ago. Let them leave and make bigger investments in public transit.
