Uber has long said the average amount it takes from fares is about 25
percent. But Vance shared screenshots with The Markup of two recent
trips he did for Uber that show the company took far more. One shows a
customer paid $30 for a 20.9-mile trip, Vance earned $14, Uber got $13,
and the rest went to sales tax. The other trip, which was 8.8 miles and
included an airport drop, the customer paid $22, Vance got $6, Uber took
$9, and the remainder went to airport fees and sales tax
...
Before Uber’s change in pay structure, Vance said he’d normally average
around $1 per mile once time and distance were calculated, especially if
he was driving on the highway. So, the 20.9-mile trip would have earned
him about $21, and the 8.8-mile trip would have brought in roughly $9.
