A few years ago I was talking to an Uber driver in France who was telling me he was thinking of quitting as he just didn’t take home that much pay after Uber got their cut, which IIRC was about 25% at the time.
Well, this morning I paid $50 for an Uber to Burbank airport (the only way of getting to the airport since there’s no public transport that goes there…) but then on the driver’s app it said she was only going to earn $20 from that trip. The remaining $30 went straight to Uber.
Uber’s cut is now *sixty fucking percent* (at least in the US)!!! How is that even remotely OK?
