Earlier this month, Uber and Lyft announced a new nationwide gas surcharge for customers of between $.45 and $.55 to help struggling drivers — but both companies deliberately carved out NYC drivers. Now, drivers are demanding compensation for fuel costs.
Adrian Cruz, a driver with Uber for six years, said gas is now costing him about a quarter of his take-home pay.
“I'm spending less time at home with my family because I have to stay on the road a little bit more to kind of break even,” he said, adding he’d put on hold any prospect of a summer vacation. Karen Mustiga, a spokesperson for Lyft said drivers are eligible for 4-5% cash back on gas purchases if they use a Lyft debit card and are eligible for certain tax breaks if they work as a for-hire driver, full time. The recent increase means drivers get an additional .5 cents a mile.Other drivers said they’re pushing for app companies to decrease the cut they take from drivers.
