A cap on app cars will save lives: An Uber driver urges the Council to pass reform bills

I went to Uber - the city council passed a bill that limits the number of rental cars, otherwise it would allow me to reform the industry to help support and maintain my family Our company spent a lot of money trying to stop it Our apartment

Mr. Uber said that limiting the car - even pausing the growth of the car for a year - would be detrimental to the people living in the area while choosing research in urban areas. But I live in Jamaica, Queens, my family and I can tell you urgently that this restriction is needed.

The reason is that there are too many Über cars on the road, as they are straightforward. Sometimes I need over an hour to get to the passenger as I have thousands of taxis around me.

Since Uber adds more car every month, there is no limit.

At that time, the number of cars is small, the higher the fare, the more money you can earn. I can take care of my family. I spend $ 1,900 a week, work six days a week and work 8 to 9 hours a day. Then in 2015, they started piling up the cars. In 2016, they lowered fares

Now, the fare is not enough. Even though I drive 12, 13, 14 hours a day, I work 7 days a week, I rarely play $ 1,000 a week - this is before cost. I will pay for my car, gasoline and car repair.

A new transmission is necessary this year. This future self-income My expense sometimes increases my income nearly half, because my car stops on the road.

I miss my family. My twin boys became three years old in October. When I saw that I was out for work, they climbed to me and said, "Can I stay at home, Dad, Dad?"

I really want to spend time with them but I can not take off without worrying about paying $ 1,450 for our one bedroom apartment even for one day.

I have received many protests from February. There are too many people commemorating the six drivers who committed suicide in the past few months. Three of them drove a yellow taxi, two were driving and the other drove a black car. But we are all the same people, we are suffering now

In addition to the cap, the municipal council has a taxi and limousine committee a bill that will give you the power to ensure that the app company will pay the minimum amount for each trip to the driver, and set the lowest passenger fare I have.

Uber usually charges a much higher fee to passengers but pays as much as $ 1.25 per mile, pays 25 cents per minute and starts at $ 1.83. Can you imagine? Passengers pay higher fee, but our hardworking drivers do not get our fair share.

This series of claims is a step in the right direction. For my family, I hope that the city council voted in favor.

Uber does not ban chips, but customers do make this very troublesome - it is necessary to close the app and remove the invoice from the wallet. Now, passengers hang a sign on the car to tilt the tip, so we can give the driver a low rating. The selection is gamble, as low ratings still mean that Uber can delete them from the app. Michael Lynn, an economist at Cornell University, is a major scholar of falls - indeed, Uber quoted one of his studies. However, Lin doubts that the motive of Über is to protect the driver from race discrimination and sex difference. He said this is mainly to protect people who do not want to tip over. But as the chip entered the market again, Uber is the only way to ensure that the current policy is that no one is happy.

Uber Uber is one of the US application-based transportation systems, known for taxis, private cars, ride sharing platforms. Automotive service began recruitment of independent contractors' drivers in 2010, drivers cheered from the app, and in many cases was done at a lower price than traditional taxis. The company caused severe damage to the taxi industry. The company met again in 2015 when it added the messenger service UberRush. It also adds Uber for business profiles to help business people separate their business Uber accounts from their personal accounts.
