Yes it is. You don't run around empty as much.
Although
I should ask...What would a fare be for a dancer to say ...... be picked up at 401 and Bayview and dropped at Aiport Strip in Malton? Using a driver.

It's in their TV ads.R u srs people would do this for $304 a week?

I doubt it. That'd be the first time they were actually honest. Normally they're making claims of $1500+ a week in Toronto.
304 may be an average. You can make 200 a day easy. Many folks only drive when convenient and not 40/hr per week.
Uber drivers log between 15-20 hrs/week on average. The majority of their drivers do it on a part-time basis as a source of additional income. It would be tough to make a go of it on a FT basis, especially after taking vehicle wear & tear into account. Driving around with puke in my car until I was able to get it to a car cleaner would make me ill, reimbursement or not.
For them it is just extra money (to spend on wine, women and song?). This is money that is not otherwise going to full time cab drivers with families to support.The majority of their drivers do it on a part-time basis as a source of additional income.
Disclosure: I have no connection to the taxi industry.

Yes and the ads are running on CNN and likely the $304 is USD which equals $400.00 CAD
If you listen to the ads carefully they're targeting people who want to drive for Uber part-time. $1,600 per month is not bad extra income for most average folk.
Still losing money hand over fist.

There is a great deal of $$ that needs to be invested to build critical mass. IMHO if they can make it work, it makes much more sense then Taxis. This should not be a full time job as demand varies greatly . You see so many taxis parked with no work during off peak hours. With Uber you can just drive at peak times to make decent money/hour and then not waste your time off peak. With Taxis the drivers are forced to drive a full shift.

I wonder where all that money is going. Probably into the constant ads proclaiming unrealistic wage rates for drivers!
Ride-hailing apps like Uber are definitely the future, but Uber is a heinous entity. Wish they didn't have such a monopoly in Canada.
