It doesnt work that way. The clock doesnt start until the passengers are in the car. They dont get paid on the way to pick the passenger up. You can reasonably get about 2 1/2 rides per hour, so really youre looking at about $14-$15 per hour with time. Still a hefty pay raise on pay per minute.

And the vast majority don't get paid for driving to their jobs. Some crazy people commute like 2 hours each way. *shrug*
I have no idea why an Uber driver would drive (for example) 30 miles just to do a 20 mile drive, you'd think they'd pass on such requests and let someone closer handle it.

In any case, if the concern really was that the companies take too large a % of the fares compared to drivers, why not just mandate that "drivers must receive at least 70% of all fares as pay" or something?
