Uber to provide more clarity on rider fares, introduce Driver app redesign

In a Newsroom post written by CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber said, “Drivers deserve to have a better understanding of their earnings. So, we’re adding an in-app feature to make it crystal clear where every dollar a rider pays is going on a weekly basis. Uber’s portion has stayed relatively flat over the years, but some drivers may not realize that a growing piece of the pie is going towards local government taxes and fees, as well as the cost of commercial auto insurance. With the first app redesign since 2018, we’re making the app an easier day-to-day experience. Introducing the Driver App Redesign: We are excited to redesign the look and feel of the Uber Driver app to make the everyday experiences of drivers and couriers more seamless. Over the coming weeks, they will start to see significant updates to make it easier to plan ahead, accept the trips they want, and track their progress. This includes revamping the homescreen, so drivers and couriers will now have clearer guidance on whether now is a good time to go online. Plus, key sections of the app, such as Earnings and Inbox, are now just a tap away.”
