Case Study of Better Pay

Originally posted on December 2, 2023 @ 9:27 AM

According to a Google search, the expression “the proof is in the pudding” means “the real worth, success, or effectiveness of something can only be determined by putting it to the test by trying or using it, appearances and promises aside“.

Because I wanted to know exactly how much I earned driving Uber, Lyft and HERide while in Atlanta, November 9-25, 2023, I spent time creating three spreadsheets and “crunching the numbers.”

All of the data came from each of my apps, and while compiling and comparing, I realized I was  going to need to explain some things.  So there are short video screenshares for each of the spreadsheets to make clear what is shown below.

To summarize, however, take a look at the numbers for each app, and zoom the images to see the numbers.  You are welcome to verify my math, if so inclined.  🙂

Uber

18 trips earned $169.07
Drive time: 5 hours 7 minutes
Miles driven: 133.30

Lyft

37 trips earned $350.29

These spreadsheets were created to not only determine how much I earned while driving rideshare in Atlanta, but to also show anyone interested, what is possible when you add HERide to your rideshare adventures.

So download the HERide rider and/or driver app HERE and use my name Anita Johnson or Invite/Referral code AN24E, if you do not already have one.

Thanks SO much for taking time to visit.

PLEASE freely share this information with your rideshare friends and family!

It’s that simple and would be so appreciated. 

You have NO idea who YOU know that needs this information.

Remember:  YOU Do NOT Need To Be a Rider or Driver to help support the movement for a BETTER rideshare experience. Just share this site with others!

P.S.  I’m fairly certain you found value in the content presented here because it doesn’t exist anywhere else.  It is my personal experience as a rideshare driver in Atlanta since August 2016.  This site was created during Easter 2017 and has found new life since finding HERide.

So, feel free to TIP your rideshare and HERide driver, Anita Johnson.  Every moment not “driving for dollars” results in a lot of time to do any and everything, but no money is made immediately.  Rideshare drivers are out here for the money.  Why else would we drive people from Point A to Point B in the ATL?  🙂

Appreciate Your Support as We ALL Do Better in Rideshare!

Anita Johnson

An unlikely "full-time" rideshare driver who has safely completed over 11,670 Uber trips in Metro Atlanta since August 2016, and over 2,828 Lyft trips since 2021. My interest in rideshare driver earnings began due to Uber's 2017 decision to change driver payout from 80%, then 75%, to mileage and minutes rates when riders were given Upfront Pricing. In 2022, Uber came up with Upfront Fares for drivers, which is significantly less than what drivers were earning in 2016. Driving for HERide since September 2022 has been exciting, and a refreshing breath of fresh air that Atlanta needs to know about! UPDATE: I've been wanting to get off the road (stop rideshare driving almost since I started) for various reasons, all documented here. My wish has finally come to pass as I am no longer a rideshare driver and was medically "retired" at the end of September 2024.
