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.
In fact, the median wait time for an Uber vehicle is even shorter than five minutes: exactly 3 minutes, 8 seconds in outer boroughs. In Manhattan, it's just 2 minutes, 25 seconds. In an exclusive report provided by Uber to Newsweek, Uber revealed median wait times for a ride across major markets in the United States. The wait time has been calculated over rides taken in the last month and includes all forms of Uber vehicles: UberX, Taxi, Black, SUV and UberXL.
