Uber Drivers Report Lower Net Pay Over Past Year
Recent passenger reports indicate that Uber drivers are experiencing reduced take-home earnings. Drivers cited the decline despite fewer available drivers following immigration enforcement changes.
rnz.co.nzPassengers who have used Uber recently report that several drivers plan to stop working for the company. The drivers attributed the decision to lower net pay over the past year. Four of the last five drivers encountered by one passenger said they enjoy the work but expect to leave due to reduced earnings.
The same reports noted that the number of available drivers has declined following immigration crackdowns.
The accounts describe a pattern of decreasing take-home pay even as fewer drivers remain active. No official statements from the company were included in the reports. Passengers observed that the combination of lower earnings and reduced driver supply could affect service availability over time.
