The issue with driver compensation almost always depends significantly on the costs employees are incurring to drive these trips.

In particular those drivers that buy or lease a car just to drive for Uber seem to struggle. The money seems fine if you already have a car.

I realise that Uber does a bunch of things to undermine this such as encouraging drivers to lease cars and having stringent requirements on the type of car they are driving, but maybe we should be complaining more about that than the revenue they get from Uber.
