And uber be like: Kenya… Stop doing this plz

If you want to save 1000ksh but you need to hail 3 or 4 drivers to take your price, then that annoyance is the cost.

Uber’s algorithms make it difficult for drivers to cover the cost of doing the driving unless they can get high tippers or lucrative fares regularly.

I’d also learned that since Uber doesn’t want to tell people they can’t find a driver, they will start at a terrible price, then if no one accepts the trip, the payout gradually increases until someone acquiesces. Unions would break this system of shortchanging the drivers by not accepting anything under the minimum level.

    If Uber’s rates are so low, why haven’t most drivers quit the app already?

    Drivers still need to find a way to connect with clients that need a ride, and thats where Uber shines. Existing as an independent taxi where you just drive around and hope you find someone to hail you doesn’t really work.

    That happens in India too. Although, I don't know if it is as uninionized.
