Replying to @dkhos
@dkhos Mr. Dara please find attached ride receipt uber driver sent me. Uber charged rider $62.25, uber kept $45.70 & paid driver only $15.94. How can you justify taking 73%+ of fares while drivers cover costs of fuel, asset depreciation, labor, risks. Immoral Should be illegal

We realize many drivers will still be fasting for Ramadan and won’t be able to attend. But we’re planning on having another cook-out next month so that all drivers can attend.
