Let's talk about Uber (and other car hailing service). Anyone here an uber driver? What kind of car you're using and how's the pay?

the pay is less than minimum wage after you factor in insurance and wear and tear on the car.

You destroy your car, have to deal with trashy people sitting in your car, you have to do your own taxes, your insurance will disown you if they found out.

>and wear and tear on the car.
Don't they provide cars?

Should I put an Uber sticker on a motorcycle for lulz?

No

Uber is garbage. Working for them is a stupid idea.

How can some people make a living off uber? Is it even possible to make good money from uber?

only if you drive a prius or other high-mpg never-failing shitbox with insane insurance, then you can actually make a pretty penny

lol when Uber hit my city I wasn't aware of their policy and tried to apply with my Volvo 240. They laughed.

Fuck 'em

Malaysian here. Been driving grab (malaysian answer to uber) for couple of months now

Taxes here are low (in fact uber driver haven't been taxed. yet), insurance is also low and I'm using a relatively fuel-efficient car (a rebadged daihatsu small K-car)

I'm doing it more as a side gig but surprisingly I'm making a decent money out of it (around 2000 ringgit per month or about 500 usd). In fact, I could live off the 2000 ringgit and save practically all of my paycheck from my real job

I know a guy who quit his job and work as full time grab driver. He's making almost 8000 ringgit (or 2000 dollar), which is twice the salary from his old job.

Maybe 2000 dollar doesnt sound much but in malaysia, a fresh degree graduate is expected to make about 2200 ringgit. You could make three times that number by being a grab driver
