[quote=Anonymous]OP here, back again!

[quote=Anonymous]Is it possible to get a Uberx with my bike? [/quote]
Sure, but get an uberXL so it’ll fit without a worry.  A bike will ding up the interior of the typical uberX Camry (or smaller).

[quote=Anonymous]OP, what is your opinion on the Ride Pass and how do people get chosen for it each month?[/quote]
It’s a gimmick and uber wouldn’t offer the Ride Pass if they didn’t think they’d make money off it. It was initially offered to casual riders to encourage them to use uber more and ditch their car, then was offered to anyone who wanted to buy it until the weekly allotment sold out, and currently not offered at all in DC (so they were probably losing money on it).

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how much do you earn driving, for how many hours?[/quote]

I shoot for 20 hours a week or $500, whichever comes first.  9 times out of 10, I hit the $500 first.[/quote]

OP, are you still driving?

How much did you make from uber annually last year, and were you still driving the same amount of hours?[/quote]
Still driving but less nowadays, and still hustling the easy money (but not as easy as it once was).  
In 2018, I netted $18k by driving 16,500 deductable miles on 1,942 trips over about 800 hours on the road.  That net is after car expenses and taxes...gross was ~$26k.  I made a $2,700 SEP-IRA contribution out of that $18k and lived off the remainder.  I banked my entire W-2 paycheck.
Last week’s gross:
