[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welcome back, OP! We missed you. 
I was wondering, why do ride fees keep getting higher and why are both riders and drivers hit by the same fees, effectively allowing Uber to double dip without consequence? [/quote]
Simply put, because it’s an easy way for them to make money.  Scrape a little here, skim a little there, and then pretty soon you’re taking about real money.  Uber’s a public company now and they have to (eventually) turn a profit if they plan on existing in the future.  Meanwhile, [b]the average driver gets worse, car quality declines, and riders pay more for less[/b].  At the same time, capable drivers who know what they’re doing  actively root for uber & lyft to bankrupt and go out of business.[/quote]

I knew it! I thought I was going crazy. Cars are disgusting now.

So where does that leave the good drivers? Are they still on Uber/Lyft or are they moving to other platforms like Via (though Via is a mess, IME)? Or are they back to being private drivers through their own companies?[/quote]
