    Sorry, was on vacay. :)

    I'm now and Uber and Lyft driver. But I also am a recruiter and mentor for Lyft. That actually takes up more of my time now. That is extremely lucrative. Driving...less so. Unless you have a very fuel efficient car, I wouldn't recommend it for someone. There is still some money to be made driving, but less so than before now that driver saturation is starting to take place. Probably the best thing to do is to simply go into driver mode when you are going someplace that isn't a deadline...or when you are sitting at home wasting time. Would be happy to answer any other questions you might have.

    Thanks for answering, markabele. I was beginning to wonder if some alien uber client had beamed you up!:p Some of the comments I've read reference the problem of too many drivers in the major markets, cutting into their earnings.
    Lately if I run out of entertaining stories here, I head over to the uber driver forum.:p
