Moving Sarasota
With cheaper fares, we believe Uber can now be a true alternative to people driving their own cars, potentially cutting down on congestion and drunk driving.
Both riders and driver-partnerss benefit from the efficiency that Uber’s technology and model bring to transportation. More rider demand and more driver-partners on the road mean that driver-partners spend less time waiting around and more time moving people and earning fares. Our experience in hundreds of cities—from New York to Singapore to Sarasota—has shown that the boost in rider demand that lower fares bring actually leads to higher driver-partner earnings.
*uberXL prices will not change.
