Drivers Uber and Bolt, like taxi drivers, can earn beautiful money, especially in big cities. However, there is no guarantee that those who choose this job will get important income, and beyond the time and seriousness, other factors can intervene in the equation.
On the Reddit platform, one of the Internet users, himself a driver of Uber, opened the discussion and started a real debate. The man, who is IT-ist, chose to work as a taxi driver, to complete his income and admits that he wins quite well.
“Due to a family context, I had to take my second job, the day from 9 to 6 I work as it ist, and in the evening from 20-01 I work as a taxi driver. How is it? Now, people are ok, I went out tonight in Bucharest and I did 350 lei until 2 at night, in the days, I can do 400 lei. Or at least those who met me, polite, clean, etc.“He wrote.
What do the Internet users say
The reactions did not delay and were among the most diverse. While some have praised him, others praised him because he is a worker.
“If you stay up until 2 at night and the next day you make it from 9 to 18 no to be very productive … do not hide sleep especially when you have a job where you have to be careful and have a clear mind“, Someone recommended.”Yes I don’t want to do more than 2-3 months, at 2 at night I try to be in bed, even 1, I think to change from 7 to 1, to catch 7 hours of sleep at night“, The man replied.
Others wanted to find out as much details as possible, maybe even to start this job. “Do you do with your personal car? Or something rented from a fleet? Why did you need any documents?”someone asked. In the absence of clarifications from the author of the initial post, someone else intervened with details. “You can also do with your personal car, and rented from the fleet. It is worth good only if you do with your personal car, with PFA open on your behalf, the documents solved by you, that otherwise besides the Bolt commission and the rent of the car you pay a few hundreds and in the fleet. “
Pros and cons
More fortunate was another Internet, who received an answer from the one who opened the whole discussion. “This money is gross and I suspect without lowering the gas. No? How many races and how many km a day for 300-400 lei? Do you think the day is better?”, he asked.
“About 250 km, yes, decrease 100 lei from those money to gasoline”, Replied the author of the initial post. “From this money it goes and the gas station to feed. It probably stays with 100, after paying all the hangers”said another.
Last but not least, other Internet users came with advice. “As a tip, never take cash orders. Only a card. What is on cash and the quality of people drops exponentially. It is good that you have not taken a drunkard from the center, to vomit in the car.“, Someone wrote. He immediately contradicted another.
“Now I do not say that you are not right or that you do not say well, but it is not advisable to look at where it comes from and where it goes more than the payment method? Pretty consistent. he wrote.
“Advertise Uber for drivers. The world runs away after anaf has entered them …”, There was another opinion.
Others warned him that he would come and days when he was working. “You will do 150 of your day after a day of work on breaking and when you drop everything.”Someone warned him. Someone immediately gave him justice. “You are right. Only the world does not put all its expenses on its sheet and does not realize that it actually runs money”he wrote.
“You give me courage”
But not everyone agreed. “I took Uber from the airport to home, a Toyota Corolla Hybrid. Stop leaving my driver in my peace, I recommend that I start, that he does 10,000 lei a light a month from 6-7 hours daily, not to listen to what others say, that the world is bad and they do not want to succeed. Which is right, if they had only races like this, where I gave 130 lei for 40 minutes, it would have been a job”, It was another point of view.
“All the time negative people will appear.” It is not worth it “, but it is the city full of Uber and Bolt. All these do, I do pro bono? I did Glovo about 2 years and I always met people who said that they were not worth it, that they are going to do not do it anymore, etc. now and after 3-4 years, guess what? There was another reply.
“The same situation to me. It ist part time job taxi. Father and husband. 6-7 hours of sleep a day. It has been 2 years since I do this. Easy-use I don’t go to part”Someone wrote.
“You give me courage. And I think of Uber in case of something are beautiful amounts for a few hours in the evening. You give me a thought”, said another.
