Ever wonder how much an Uber driver makes? How about what an Uber driver thinks about surge pricing?
You can now leave the prying personal questions out of the car, thanks to one Uber driver who also (maybe) happens to be on Reddit.
The driver started an AMA (“Ask Me Anything”) thread on Sunday, then promptly fell asleep. Once Reddit user bmoreuber woke up, however, the info started flowing. The first question about the driver’s longest ride was enough to get us interested. The map of surge pricing zones offered later makes it all the better.
