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.
The customer comes out, gets in the Uber and they go about 2 miles, which takes about 5 minutes in Los Angeles with traffic. Driver drops off the client, and the total fare for that was $4. Of that $4, Uber takes a dollar off the top for something they call the 'safe rides fee.' And then the fare has gone down to $3.
