    OT (heads-up):
    Manghuhuli daw uli ang LTO sa mga app-based transpo.. Narinig ko lang ngayon sa dzmm, colorum daw kasi.. (pero atm, pinaprocess daw lahat ng mga kailangang reqmts para tuluyang maging legal transport service na sila)

    Maybe some of our Tsikoteers can illustrate using numbers.

    Does the math really add up?

    I mean, certainly you have to take into account monthly expenses for:

    Fuel
    Maintenance
    Spare parts
    Depreciation
    Insurance

    (This assumes you have no interest expense in amortizing the cost of the vehicle and do not pay a driver wages since you'll be doing the driving)

    So, supposing the car you're using for Uber operations is brand new, you tend to spend less for maintenance and spare parts. The cost of fuel would be variable based on consumption and fuel prices. But as you go along, you spend more for maintenance and depreciation for the car.

    Does it still result in a profit of Php15-20 k/monthly?

    Ako I'm still skeptical. Feeling ko mga nag resign sa regular jobs na and drive über fulltime mga desperate or looking for that one knock out punch na kumita ng malaki

    Alam mo naman mga ibang tao nangdadamay sa quicksand na pinasok nila puro press release na sobrang ganda para may kadamay sila sa napasok nila.

    Kasi kung totoo na maganda kita not just uber hinde nila pagkalat yun dahil magkakaroon sila ng competition. [emoji16]

    I'm a bit skeptical as well since sa depreciation palang, assuming it's for a Php 500,000 car and you're depreciating over 5 years, that's about Php 8,333 in depreciation cost alone per month. Dagdag pa fuel, periodic maintenance (which could be more frequent given that the vehicle is used a lot)...medyo ang mahal na ng running costs.

    Hiring drivers to drive your car defeated the concept of uber, naging sosy taxi na lang Talaga.

    Dito sa US. mga uber cars meron sticker ng uber dinidikit sa windshield. Para alam talaga na uber yun unmarked car

    I rode uber going to Kapitolyo late this afternoon. Driver/owner (he just came home from office) told me his earnings nowadays are not as good as before when there not too many uber cars. It used to be that they were entitled to incentive when they made a minimum of 35 rides a week. Uber revised the incentives program to include the requirement that they make 5 rides during rush hour in the morning and another 5 rides during rush hour in the afternoon. The reason for the revision was because drivers did the 35 rides a week by avoiding the rush hour. But because it's impossible to do 5 rides during rush hour, drivers no longer are able to get the incentive.

    On the way back from Kapitolyo tonight, I rode uber again. My driver was a driver and not an owner. His company has 25 Vios cars for uber use. That's probably another reason why it's no longer lucrative to drive an uber car on the side.

    Very good info - exactly one of the main reasons why being an Uber partner isn't that enticing anymore...

    James Deakin just posted that LTFRB will make its own premium taxi, an operator needs 20 units with 2.0 engine displacement. Mukhang unti unti pababagsakin ang Uber. Ahole gov't agency.
