I needed a ride back to our old home, looked around for options and settled on an Uber. I don’t see how this is a sustainable income model for the drivers. The trip is 45 miles each way and it cost me $54. I don’t know how much Uber took. It took 2 1/2 hours for the driver to complete the trip. After he figures in 90 miles worth of gas and wear and tear on the car he’s not making much. It looks like the business model is to buy a car and trade the declining value of the car as you put miles in it for lunch money. The car was a clean nice looking Hyundai with good tires, bad rear wheel bearings, and a cracked windshield.
