How does Boost work?

7 December 2017 / Nairobi

Example trip calculation with 30% (1.3x) boost
Elizabeth completed a trip and the fare was KES 500. At the end of the day, she is paying the 25% service fee on this fare for the use of the Uber application, that is KES 125. The trip she completed, was in a 1.3x BOOST area, which means she earned an EXTRA KES 150 just because she was driving there. Her TOTAL earnings after the Uber Service fee for this trip was KES 525. 
Calculation: 
Fare KES 500
– Uber Fee (25%) KES 125
+ Boost (30%) KES 150
Total Earnings KES 525
 
Facts about boost
The boost amount is funded by Uber and can easily be seen under trip details in the driver-partner app and also under the weekly summary
The boost amount forms a part of total earnings as shown in the per trip example above and also forms a part of the weekly earnings
The total boost amount is visible to partners under weekly statements and forms a part of the bank deposit calculation. Where Uber owes partners money, we aspire to make the bank deposits directly every week
