How much did Uber pay 10 News First. For their story on temporary fuel surcharge, or was it a publicity stunt. Uber drivers are no better off over the years there has been no increase in fares although Uber now receives 27.5% the $0.06 per kilometre or average ? $0.50 per trip does nothing to help drivers cover increased costs. Uber does not have a conscience or feel at all for the driver. I challenge 10 news first to do a follow up story. On Uber drivers satisfaction. Ubers pricing, fares start at $7.50 and the driver receives $5.04 and at times asked to travel ridiculous distances to pick up point, trip acceptance rate and cancellation rate what Uber does to address this problem. There is a long list concerns Uber drivers have with no way of being heard. Which include no trip information given to the driver the driver does not know the trip destination until the driver starts the trip.
