How many uber drivers are in Priuses? I haven't ridden in a single one...
How many people do you personally know that make their living as an Uber driver? I don't mean pensioners making beer money, or people doing it as a side job, here.
I know one. He's been doing it for a year and half, or so. He doesn't own his car. he has to lease it on a weekly basis, and he's paying through the nose for the privilege. He's doing it because his credit is shit, and he has no savings to buy a car outright.
He's getting ahead, but if driver rates get cut, he'll be going right back to being a line cook.
It will vary by year and city, but generally speaking Toyotas tend to dominate ride share with Camry usually #1, then Prius, Corolla, and RAV4. However, the long tail is very long and you're about as likely to get a ride in a less cost effective vehicle.
the first sentence is a terrible take unfortunately, prius one of the most popular taxi and ridehailing cars ever, it's sully arund >50% of car supply in most western cities.
As usual, you are conflsting your singular consumer experience of Uber with the global business giant Uber.
Oh, I don't disagree about taxis. Priuses are everywhere in that space, and for good reason. If you are going to make a living driving, you should probably drive one.
I do disagree on Ubers. I see very few Priuses, but there's a different explanation to that, that I missed. Casual drivers, people doing it as a side thing, or for beer money didn't optimize their car purchase for the purpose of driving a taxi. I suppose full-time drivers are more likely to drive one.
