  All of the drivers I've asked
  over 1000's of rides
I have had the same experience (with far fewer rides) but I'm sceptical about how reliable it is given the driver is incentivised to give me an enjoyable ride. Same as a waiter who hates his job will make more in tips by putting on a smile.


The almost always have a day job or some other obligation. The only ones that could even do it full time would be the retirees but they specifically don’t want to.

There’s also the economics of oversupply. It’s easy low skill flex work so there will be a lot of competition.


Try asking what they think of the quantity of Money they make and they won’t stop complaining that it isn’t what it used to be, or it is barely more than maintenance fees.
