I'm pretty sure tw is imagining that Uber drivers are a bunch of housewives and college students driving under 10 hours a week for "extra income." Typical driver in my experience is a male immigrant ages 30-50 driving 40-80 hours per week for a combination of Uber and Lyft customers. At least 30% don't speak English well or at all, and the rate is much higher in big tourist cities like Orlando. Some Spanish, but mostly Middle Eastern dudes.

Nowadays most also me their card as I get out, encouraging me to call them directly when I'm ready to go back and they will charge me less (i.e. cut Uber's percentage out of the equation.)
