Yep, this is the scandal, not that the passenger gets a more efficient route.

Not sure if the top level poster didn't read that part or just doesn't get it...

I think you're misinformed. Drivers are not paid with the percentage of the ride. THey're paid by miles and minutes.

As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, that's no longer true since Uber implemented upfront pricing.

Drivers using the partner app are charged an Uber Fee as a percentage of each trip fare.
