Today, Uber Lausanne warned its drivers to inform them that, starting next Monday, fees retained by Uber will increase from 20% to 30%.
Oulah,.. .carrement: 50% increase in their commission… Already that UberPop drivers could easily get the impression of touch peanuts, it might discourage more than one. Uber puts to death Uberpop, who would have thought?
Actually to think well, will trim down to UberPop and encourage the most motivated drivers to form for UberX is a process politically, legally or economically logic…
Risky, but logical. Although with a rotation of drivers still higher than now, it can pass. And anyway, is to anticipate, surely, legal decisions that focus on the strengthening of UberX and let UberPop.
Otherwise, in the same mail, Uber announces that the "pricing surge", which is to increase the rates to peak in high demand areas, more or less dynamically will be active next week also in Lausanne, evenings and weekend nights. This, this is good news for drivers, but much less for customers: in the worst case, it will align the cost of a Uber race to that of a taxi.
Align the price of taxis at the rush hour, it's swollen. They are sure of themselves, the guys of Uber! But it's their trademark: the steamroller, the strong financial base, and surfing on the razor's edge at the legal level or at the level of the decency of the income of drivers and 'surge pricing' costs for customers.
Otherwise, my code for your first free Uber race sponsorship, it's here.
