Uber is proposing a 6.1% cut to the base per-mile pay rate for its New York City drivers, citing a 38% drop in gasoline prices since 2022. The company aims to reduce ride costs in one of its largest markets by lowering the per-mile rate from $1.360 to $1.277. This proposal has sparked concerns among driver advocates, who argue that the pay cut will negatively impact drivers' earnings. The proposal has been submitted to New York City's Taxi and Limousine Commission.
