Oswald's Corner. Comments on recent. autism-related research reports. A Revised M-CHAT. A paper by Robins et al. appeared in the January 2014 issue of the journal Pediatrics, reporting the first. published data for a revised version of the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) screening.
After the ride starts, Uber does indeed charge for waiting time. However, the charge to the rider is often less than the minimum wage, and what the driver gets is only 72% to 75% of that. For example, on an UberX ride here in Utah, Uber charges you $.11/minute ($6.60 / hour) for wait time. I would get $4.95 of that.
When you pay your fare, Uber takes their $1 'safe rides fee' off the top, then takes an additional 20%, the rest is given to the drivers. Common examples:$4 min. fare - $1 safe ride fee - 20% = $2.40 to your driver total. Out of this the driver must pay for gas and all other expenses.
