Uber drivers are making six figures a month in Lahore

[Winchester]

In an surprisingly impressive revelation, we have come to know that Uber drivers in Lahore are making quite handsome payouts.

While average per month income might not be that high, there are drivers who make over Rs. 100,000 a month by just driving cars on the roads of Lahore.


“In fact, there’s this driver who topped our charts by making Rs. 130,000 in 30 days”, we were told by an Uber spokesperson.

Uber, an on-demand cab service launched in Lahore last month, is currently operating with comparatively lower number of cars. Demand, on the other hands, is huge and this is only why drivers are making good money as they keep getting ride-requests throughout the day.

Uber, for those who don’t know, keeps 25% of the ride cost and shares 75% revenues with the drivers.

“You can make a handsome amount if you drive 10 hours a day, given you own the car, i.e. you don’t have to share the revenue with anyone”, said the spokesperson.

It must be mentioned here that with growing number of drivers, this average payout rate is going to go down, as seen everywhere else where Uber operates.

With more Uber drivers on road down the line, naturally it would be less likely for them to get as many ride-requests as they get now.

However, a similar growth rate in number of ride-requests — with time — will keep the payout rates high for some time until it all gets saturated. So as long as Uber can market itself well and grow the number of people using their service, it’ll have a bunch of very happy drivers.

Is there a process to stop criminals becoming Uber drivers? I guess the local Lahore authorities grant them licences right?

This will be a hard hit to the more traditional Rickshaw drivers who are mostly poor.

Why? Uber is not for average or middle class person to use. So there is actually no threat to traditional Rickshaw drivers.

It's not too bad, yes they increased their rate used to be 20% now it's 25% but the system is fair, like first one to accept the job gets it which is better than regular mini cabs where you pay rent and sit idle all day waiting for jobs.

That's rubbish uber does no such thing, black cabs are pissed because they in competition. Uber is the future and here to stay.

Hasan is very funny he been doing uber for 1yr or so he gives good advice

I will be doing uber myself end of the year when I get a Skoda Superb car

Before older Uber drivers were charged 20% rate now new drivers get charged 25% but remember its flexible hours you work when you want to work which suits many people as they can make extra cash on the side.

Also airports are good places to wait for jobs and also residential areas

But if you know how the uber works, it is very secure and very easily one can track both the passenger and the driver because their credit cards are registered.

Nah i disagree, here in the UK uber is the only company that has stood up the Black cab mafia which has been ripping people off with their meter rates because a city like London is always traffic and these guys make an absolute fortune. Terrible customer service, rude and obnoxious is how i describe black cab drivers they are only happy picking up Arabs and Chinese tourist.

I can not wait for the day Uber completely kills of on meter cabs

Uber is rather a dangerous form of travel

At least with Taxi (registered) you have the license / plate number of taxi or assurance that the person is indeed a taxi person

Uber driver could be a Psychopath or raptist no one would know it

Also unpredictable as hell , would they show up if they don't who will you complain ?

Good question!
I guess it will have to either drive back to the company or drive to a police station! It could claim trespassing!
