[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've heard parents have started sending their kids to college with an Uber account, since it's cheaper to Uber than to maintain/park a car. I would think college kids would have short little trips, though, rather than longer rides. Are college kids your best source of income? If not, who are?[/quote] First sentence...I'd totally do it for my theoretical kids. $200/mo could easily cover 30-35 college town rides. Uber is Blacksburg of all places, so I'm sure they're in every other decent sized college town. Colleges are hotspots...GW, Georgetown, AU, Howard, but yes, they are short, dinky rides. If it's surging, I don't care. I would say that 20-somethings are 70% of the income, and that includes all the college kids. 10% 30-somethings, 10% 40+ and 10% tourists to round it out. You'd think college kids leaving in the summer would hurt business a lot, but all those dorms fill back up in the summertime as cheap housing for interns.[/quote]
