That’s what happens when people demand that drivers be paid more. That extra post comes from the customer.

“With Uber, the vast majority of your fare is going to your driver. Earnings per week for our drivers are up 40, 50 percent over the past four years, because that is the cost of time and the cost of labor. I think that’s positive.”

I’d like to know how long the trip took and how much it would have cost in a taxi. If a taxi would have cost $80 then Uber was a good fare.
