RidefairTO’s Legislative Poverty report takes exception with Uber Canada’s claims about driver income.
Uber claims that their drivers making $33.35 an hour, whereas RidefairTO in their own report found the wage to be $6.37 per hour.
RidefairTO is a Toronto based organization that advocates for ride-hailing platforms to be “governed by fair regulations.”
The report says that there are three reasons why the wage is low. The report cites too many drivers, low pay rates and wait times between calls where they are not making money.
In the report they found Toronto drivers to making “between 38.5 per cent and 64 percent of the hourly minimum wage.
At a Toronto executive committee meeting held on Feb. 29, the committee voted for city staff to conduct an analysis of the data in RidefairTO’s report.
