Hey OP, what's new?
Still driving?[/quote]

Still driving, and still hitting my goal of grossing $500 in 20 hours every week that I go out and drive.  Uber is still incentivizing drivers heavily to come out and drive with gimmicks like quests (eg. give 20 rides for a $35 bonus) and boost (guaranteed surge that uber subsidizes, while the riders pay only the regular fare).   Uber is bleeding money at even a faster rate now than ever before and I take full advantage of the free money.  In the first screenshot below, uber straight up gifted me $50 for driving because I earned $100 in subsidized boost incentives while their total commission cut was only $50, not to mention the money I earned from riders' actual fare payments.

I grossed about $30/hr Saturday doing really easy rides on a little less than 100 total miles driven:

[quote=Anonymous]Who were better passengers this weekend... Inauguration or March attendees?[/quote]
Everyone was fine and well-mannered...I did ~50 rides over Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.  I do enjoy driving out-of-towners because I can talk about stuff other than typical DC convos.  The demand for the Women's March was insane and the drivers that put in big hours Thursday-Sunday made bank.  Saturday alone was the best single day driving uberX in years.  I think we should have a Women's March every month, lol.

And lazy rides are my bread & butter because the profit margin is almost infinite...a four-block ride:
