It seemed as good a chance as any to get to the heart of Uber's rapidly growing business, one that has already transformed the transportation industry in just a few years, so I took Josh up on the offer and took 11 rides with 11 randomly chosen Uber X drivers and obtained eight out of 11 of the drivers' pay statements - two drivers who spoke on the record were not comfortable with showing me their pay statements and Uber did not provide pay statements for the last driver.Īs is common with ride-sharing services, throughout my 11 rides, the work schedule varied considerably for each driver.
A few weeks ago, Uber New York General Manager Josh Mohrer, who has been known to fight his fair share of public battles in defense of Uber on Twitter, tweeted an offer to reporters: In response to articles that questioned Uber's claims that drivers made an average of $25 an hour (or that the median driver makes upwards of $90,000 a year) Mohrer said he would go on the record with any reporter who took 10 rides and asked those drivers for their payment statements (Uber is currently investigating Mohrer for apparently violating the company's privacy policy during the reporting of this story).
