This study says they're earning $3.37/hr in profit. Most of the rides in my city are $10 and take less than 20 minutes of time for the driver. So, if I paid $12.25 instead of $10 for rides, and the extra money went to the driver, they would earn $10.11/hr profit instead of $3.37/hr. That's 3x the profit for the driver, and only a 22.5% increase in the cost of rides. I would continue to use the service just as often.
