How exactly is anyone "exploiting" the driver?
Tip was never included although Uber makes it appear so.
No, Uber
never made it appear that a tip was included. Their intent all along was that the model exist entirely without the side-bribes. It was pretty clear to me all along: tip is not included, and supply and demand is regulated by the surge pricing.
Rates in my market are 37% less than a year ago and Pool is terrible, for drivers and pax.
So log out. Drive for Lyft or do something else with your time. If enough drivers log out, then Uber will find itself at surge pricing all the time. So much so that they might find it in their interest from a marketing perspective to simply raise the base rates in your market (since apparently a lot of riders don't understand or like surge pricing).
